Where I've Been

With a free copy of your credit report, take a deep dive into your finances. What makes up your credit score? What have you done well and what could you improve upon? Knowing your credit score is the starting point for your financial future. At Michigan First, your credit score doesn’t define you, but it’s an important learning tool.

Our financial experts will provide you with key takeaways from your credit report and answer any questions you have to keep you moving in the right direction.

Explore Your Credit Score

Understanding the breakdown of your credit score is a necessary step in your financial journey. Use your credit as a tool that can guide you through your finances and help you reach your goals. View Credit Seminars.

Where I'm At

Once you’ve tackled the past, our experts will help you look at your current financial situation. Where does your money come from? Where does it go each month? How do you keep track of your loans, expenses, savings, or investment accounts to make sure you’re still moving toward your goal?

Knowing the breakdown of your budget is important. Examining where your money goes with a careful eye can help determine where you may be able to save — whether through consolidation, refinancing, or other tools available to you.

Savings Accounts

A smart savings plan is necessary to help you reach your financial goals. One of our guides will navigate you into the right account and map a plan tailored for your financial journey.

Checking Accounts

Michigan First offers checking accounts that help you manage your money more efficiently. Pay bills online in minutes, make quick purchases with a free debit card, and find an ATM around almost any corner.

Where I'm Going

Big or small, every step toward your financial goals will impact your future. Whether it’s creating a better budget, saving for something important, or planning for your future, Michigan First is here to work with you to help you reach these milestones. At each visit, set goals for your finances and determine where you’re at on the road to accomplishing them.

Think big and small with each goal you create. What can you accomplish within the next few months? What are your long-term goals?
