Happy Credit Union Anniversary to our June starters! Thanks for another fantastic year of employment and your dedicated contributions to Firelands FCU. 🤩

Why choose a credit union for your business checking account? Here are three good reasons! 1. Credit unions are owned and controlled by the people, or members, who use their services. 2. Profits made by credit unions are returned back to members in the form of reduced fees, competitive rates, and lower loan rates. 3. They fully support our local communities and other area businesses by providing financial education, increasing access to resources, and volunteering time to organizations. When you open a business checking account at Firelands FCU, you secure all of this and will be entered to win a $500 Visa Gift Card when you open an account before June 30th! Ready to get started?
