Credit Union Members Urged to Help Protect Future of Credit Unions

Ferndale, Michigan – Credit Union ONE, a Michigan credit union for seventy-five years has urged their members to reach out to their federal lawmakers to help protect the future of credit unions.

In 1937 congress granted credit unions federal tax-exempt status because of their cooperative member owned structure and have reaffirmed this status many times over the course of years.

Credit unions are member-owned not-for-profit locally run financial cooperatives. They care about and invest in their members and the communities they serve. This is evidenced by the fact that credit unions continue to serve their communities and lend money when other financial institutions will not.

However, the banking industry wants to eliminate this exemption to benefit their own industry.

Members are encouraged to contact their lawmakers by clicking here to ask for their support in protecting and preserving the future of credit unions.

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 106,000 members, with eighteen offices in three major metropolitan areas, including Metro Detroit, Grand Rapids and Traverse City.

The Credit Union Difference presented by Credit Union ONE


(L to R) Rosa Gutierrez-Academy of the Americas, Carl King-
Academy of the Americas, and Mariza Sanchez-Credit Union ONE


Ferndale, Michigan – When given the opportunity to talk about the differences between banks and credit unions, John Kozich, Executive Director of Community Relations for Credit Union ONE, jumps at the chance.

“I look forward to telling the credit union story, and letting people know what a benefit credit unions are,” said Mr. Kozich. “When people learn what credit unions are all about, what products and services are available, and how they can save money by belonging to a credit union, there is almost no reason not to join.”

This was the case when Credit Union ONE was contacted by Academy of the Americas, an elementary school located in the southwest area of Detroit, to come in and speak with their parent group about finances.

Mariza Sanchez, Member Sales Consultant at Credit Union ONE spoke to the group about the basics of finance (both in English and Spanish), distributed informational brochures and fielded questions.

“We really appreciate Credit Union ONE taking the time to come to our school and educate our parents about finances and the services they offer,” said Carl A. King, LSCO Vice President, Academy of the Americas. “We are looking forward to having them back again.”

Plans are currently underway for Credit Union ONE to conduct an educational session on basic financial information for children with some of the students at the Academy of the Americas. This is a great opportunity to start them off right in the banking world.

Credit Union ONE, headquartered in Ferndale Michigan for over seventy years, offers a wide array of financial services and access to over 28,000 ATM’s nationwide, serving 106,000 members, with eighteen offices in three major metropolitan areas, including Metro Detroit, Grand Rapids and Traverse City.

Credit Union ONE members are rewarded with over $1,000,000

Ferndale, Michigan – Now more than ever, Credit Union ONE members are using their Cash Back Checking account and reaching for the card that gives them rewards in many ways.

Since the inception of the Cash Back Checking program less than two years ago, Credit Union ONE members have earned over $1,000,000 in cash rewards. Over 13,600 members have received a cash reward this year, and more than 300 of them have earned $150 or more.

“Hitting the $1 million mark in rewards cash to our members so quickly after launching this product exceeds all of our expectations,” said Gary Moody, President and CEO of Credit Union ONE. “We knew giving our members cash to use our card would be an attractive value proposition, but not this attractive. The simple message and novel concept of getting paid by your financial institution to use a debit card has resonated well in a marketplace where it seems every day there is a story about some new fee being charged. We are looking forward to the continued success of this program and hitting the next million in cash back rewards.”

Members in the program receive points for using their platinum debit card and signing for their purchases. One point is awarded for every $2.00 spent, and once 3,500 points have accumulated they can be redeemed for cash which is automatically deposited into the Cash Back Checking account. Key to this program is that points never expire and there is no limit to what a member can earn.

In addition to cash back rewards, Credit Union ONE members enjoy many benefits of the platinum debit card, such as; extended warranty coverage, price protection, and purchase assurance. These are features that normally would be found in a fee-based credit card program, as opposed to a no-cost debit card program, which makes this a very unique product.

"The ONE to Ask: Debt" presented by Credit Union ONE

Ferndale, Michigan – With events occurring every day that can sometimes be life-changing, it is important to have somewhere to go when you have questions on financial topics. This is where Credit Union ONE comes in.

Earlier this year, Credit Union ONE launched The ONE to Ask, a Facebook online chat for members to post questions and get them answered by a subject expert during a one-hour live session.

Most recently, the second event of The ONE to Ask was hosted by Stephen Grech, Executive Vice President of Credit Union ONE. Mr. Grech fielded questions from listeners on the topic of debt. General areas of discussion included how to build or rebuild credit, what types of debt to pay first, and what to do if you cannot fully pay your debt.

According to Mr. Grech, “It’s always great to hear directly from real life members and non-members who are facing the realities and challenges presented by the economic and housing market that we all live and work in. It’s rewarding to help others by sharing industry knowledge on these real life issues.”

As the series continues, the number of questions is increasing and Credit Union ONE looks forward to growing the participation rate with future sessions. With the fan base growing, it is expected that the “live sessions” may need to be extended beyond one hour in order to accommodate the number of questions received. The next session is expected near year end.

Credit Union ONE, headquartered in Ferndale Michigan for over seventy years, offers a wide array of financial services and access to over 28,000 ATM’s nationwide, serving 106,000 members, with nineteen offices in three major metropolitan areas, including Metro Detroit, Grand Rapids and Traverse City.
