An Employee Benefit That Won’t Cost You a Dime
We are proud to serve the employees of many companies in our neighborhoods and across the nation through our Select Employer Group program. Our history began as a credit union founded to help improve the lives of employees at local grocery stores, and as we continue to grow, we carry those same values in the partnerships we form with local companies and organizations.
Financial Wellness Program
Did you know 52% of employees are stressed about their finances and 25% of employees are distracted at work? American First Credit Union partners with local employers to offer a complimentary Financial Wellness program to reduce financial stress and increase productivity in the workplace. As a non-profit organization, employees will also enjoy a variety of Savings and Loan products, with more perks and competitive interest rates than regular banks can offer. With your employees’ financial being as our top priority, we offer confidential financial counseling, on-site or virtual workshops on a variety of topics, and a dedicated Business Development Account Executive to address your employees’ unique, financial needs.
More Benefits:
- A dedicated Business Development Account Executive will prioritize your company to provide an on-site credit union resource table, on-site or virtual financial wellness workshops, new hire presentations and welcome packets, special promotions, and sponsorships.
- Your employees will enjoy confidential financial counseling and resources, digital services, and access to over 5,000 shared branches and 30,000 ATMs through the CO-OP Network.
- Your employees and their family members are eligible to join, and their accounts will be federally insured by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) up to $250,000.
