We recently lost our beloved President & CEO, Kathy Chartier. Kathy’s leadership and vision helped shape Members Credit Union into a community-focused financial cooperative rooted in inclusion, service, and opportunity.
Her legacy continues to guide our mission every day.
We invite our members, friends, colleagues, and community partners to visit a special tribute page honoring her life and contributions. There, you can learn more about her legacy, watch her Herb Wegner Award video, and share messages celebrating her remarkable service and lasting impact on our members, the credit union movement, and the communities she served.

College costs go beyond tuition—books, housing, technology, transportation, and other expenses can add up quickly.
Start by reviewing your financial aid package and building a realistic budget early. Be sure to explore all available financing options before making a borrowing decision.
If additional funding is needed, a Members Credit Union Personal Loan* may help cover eligible education-related expenses not fully covered by financial aid.

💡Financial Tip of the Quarter:
Plan and Spread Out Summer & Back-to-School Costs
Instead of separating summer and back-to-school spending, create one simple list of everything you’ll need—vacations, supplies, clothing, technology, and school-related fees.
Once you have your list, prioritize essentials and spread purchases over time when possible. Buying early or taking advantage of seasonal sales can help reduce last-minute expenses and ease pressure on your budget.
A little planning now can go a long way in keeping your finances on track throughout the season.
