Tips to Fix Your Finances
Unless you’re born into it or inherit it, most of us have to work for the money we need. Some of us work more than one job to make it all come together. Sometimes we have to borrow money for the things we want or need like a home, car, wedding, or to finance an education. Sometimes people take on more debt in terms of credit cards and loans than the amount of money they bring in to make the payments.
Bob Marquette, our President & CEO, was recently featured on FOX 43’s “Fixing Your Finances“. He discussed how credit score works, why a good credit history impacts your ability to obtain a loan, and provided tips on how you can improve your own credit score.

Friendly reminder – Check Your Credit Report Annually
You are entitled to a free copy of your credit report every year. It’s important to check your credit report regularly for accuracy, discrepancies, fraudulent activity, and identity theft. And federal law requires Equifax, Experian and TransUnion, the big three consumer credit reporting companies, to provide you with a free credit report every 12 months if you request it. Get your free credit report today.

We offer our members access to money management and financial education services through GreenPath Financial Wellness. As a member, you can receive assistance with:
- Personal and family budgeting
- Understanding your personal credit report and how to improve your score

What’s the difference?
Do banks and credit unions all seem the same to you? You have heard the term “credit union” over and over again but you just don’t know what makes it all that special. Credit unions are actually much more different from a bank than you think! Here at Members 1st Federal Credit Union, we take pride in the things that differentiate us from banks, and we want you to better understand why.
There are many distinct differences between credit unions and other banking institutions. If you’re already a member, that’s great. Think back on the reasons that made you switch financial institutions. If you’re not a member, this video will highlight some very good reasons to help you to decide which financial institution is the best for your needs. The benefits of credit union membership are countless!
Experience the credit union difference. If you’re not a member at Members 1st Federal Credit Union, consider checking us out.

2015 Financial Resolutions – There’s still time
We’re one month down, 11 more to go and 2015 will be a wrap. It’s still early enough in the year to review your finances and set goals. If you haven’t made your financial resolutions yet, here are seven tips that can help you achieve financial success.
- REVIEW YOUR BUDGET. List your recurring monthly expenses and compare them to your monthly income. Make adjustments or cuts where necessary to prevent dipping into your savings or using your credit cards. For helpful hints on budgeting basics, download our free brochure on budgeting.
- COMMUNICATE. Yes, it may be uncomfortable, but it’s very important to talk with your partner about where you stand financially (debt included). Knowing where you are helps you know where you want to be. Learn how to manage money as a couple or when you find yourself suddenly single by reading our free brochure, “His, Hers, Mine & Ours.”
- PAY DOWN DEBT. If you have numerous credit card balances, tackle the one with the highest interest rate first and pay the minimum amount required on all of your other balances. Also consider transferring your higher rate card balances to your Members 1st VISA®, which could save you money.
- BUILD AN EMERGENCY FUND. Most specialists suggest saving three to six month’s salary in case of an unexpected setback or job loss. Start by putting aside a little from each paycheck now.
- AUTOMATE YOUR LIFE. Utilize the Bill Payer feature of Members 1st Online. It’s simple to set up recurring payments to ensure that you’re always paying your bills on time, every time.
- THINK BEFORE YOU BUY. Do you really need that item or is it something that you simply want?
- MEET WITH A FINANCIAL PLANNER. Our team of Investment Services representatives can help you develop a customized financial plan that will help you feel confident in your goals.* You may schedule a free consultation at any of our branch locations.
If you need additional assistance, we offer free access to money management and financial education services through GreenPath, a financial management program. Through comprehensive education and exceptional service, GreenPath has been assisting individuals for more than 50 years. As a member, you can receive assistance with:
- Personal and family budgeting
