With each new year, we like to take this time to look back at our accomplishments and milestones, as well as the impact we've made on our members and the communities we serve.
We’re excited to share that Michigan First has recently expanded with new branches, ensuring even more convenient access to your banking needs!
For nearly 100 years, we’ve been proud to call Detroit home, and the merger with Teamsters Credit Union represents an exciting new chapter in our history, allowing us to continue expanding access to financial services in the state of Michigan. Our Michigan First Corktown Branch is now open at the former Teamsters Credit Union location, 2825 Trumbull, in Detroit.
In addition to Corktown, we’ve also opened our first branch in Jackson, conveniently located in the Jackson Meijer. This location ensures that members in Jackson and surrounding areas have easy access to the financial tools and support they need.
This past December, we’ve also relocated our Plymouth branch in Grand Rapids to an upgraded location on Beltline Avenue. We look forward to continued growth and success in this new location.
We look forward to seeing you at one of our new locations and are excited about our branch plans for 2025!
During 2025, Michigan First remains dedicated to enhancing our member experience and access to financial resources. You can expect an extended range of digital access and ongoing enhancements across all channels, contributing to an even better experienve across all Michigan First brands.
As we progress into 2025, we are excited about our future growth. Thank you for your loyalty, business, and for choosing Michigan First!
