Credit Union ONE and Hantz Financial Join Forces To Offer One Stop Shop Financial Services


Ferndale, Michigan – Credit Union ONE and Hantz Financial Services have joined forces to offer a wide range of investment, insurance, retirement, tax and estate planning services. This relationship expands the capabilities of Credit Union ONE to fully service its members, and expands the market reach of Hantz to current and future members of Credit Union ONE. 
 
Under this arrangement, Hantz advisors will lead a team of Credit Union ONE and Hantz specialists who will collaborate to deliver a full financial service experience for each member/ client.  The team approach allows for the development and design of a comprehensive plan that seamlessly integrates both Credit Union ONE and Hantz Financial services and products to produce results that achieve desired outcomes and goals. 
 
“We have offered financial planning services to our members for twenty-years with little success, considering our membership and asset size.   The one-off product sales approach simply does not fit our vision of the member experience and is inconsistent with our Core Values.  Members now have access to a team of experts who will deliver a remarkable experience.  This team approach is rarely seen in the banking arena, and we believe creates a compelling value proposition,” said Credit Union ONE President and CEO Gary Moody.
 
“We are very excited about joining forces with Credit Union ONE to be able to provide the opportunity of a one stop shop financial planning experience to their members,” said Hantz Group CEO, John Hantz.  “The Hantz Financial method of working with our team of experts to use a comprehensive approach in designing a financial plan and being able to offer all of the necessary services to implement the plan provides our clients with the convenience of having all of the information needed for decision making in one place.  It allows for the most successful outcomes.”

Credit Union ONE, headquartered in Ferndale Michigan for seventy-five years, offers a wide array of financial services and access to over 30,000 ATM’s nationwide, serving 110,000 members, with seventeen offices in three major metropolitan areas, including Metro Detroit, Grand Rapids and Traverse City.
