This meant that people living or working in a geographical area could now join the credit union, not just the employees of certain businesses. Over the years our charter has grown from townships, to counties and today anyone that lives, works, worships or was educated in the state of Michigan can join Frankenmuth Credit Union. Even though we have grown we are still only interested in one thing – people helping people. We provide good, old-fashioned, hometown service coupled with sound financial advice specific for each of our members situations. We are rooted in the communities we serve and make an impact through our staff volunteer hours on community projects and our foundation.
