You're not just a member of a credit union. You're a friend. A neighbor. And we want to help you in any way that we can.
About us
We got our start in 1935 as the Kalamazoo School Employees Credit Union. Our goal: to meet the financial needs of local educators. Since then, our mission has evolved and we now provide services to all types of families and businesses across the state of Michigan. In 2016, we became Arbor Financial Credit Union. The new name was designed to change the perception that you had to be a teacher to join. With the reference to trees, we also wanted to reinforce our strong community roots, commitment to growth, and our environmentally friendly mindset. Arbor Financial has ten branches within the south west MI area. More than 40,000 people are Arbor Financial members. The credit union has over $600 million in assets. At Arbor Financial, we foster a can-do culture. It stems from the Core Values we instill in our staff: • Work together. • Do the right thing. • Have fun. From the minute you walk through the door of one of our Michigan branches, you can feel the friendly vibe. Our employees go out of their way to meet your needs and treat you well. Call it the power of positivity. We think it's why our members are so loyal to Arbor Financial. • We believe people have a right to expect a lot from institutions they do business with. • We focus on finding individualized financial solutions for families and businesses of all types. • We pride ourselves on providing members’ access to financial experts who offer honest advice. • We immerse ourselves in our communities with volunteer initiatives and scholarship programs. • We aim to enrich the lives of the people and communities we serve.

Kid's Day at Arbor was a success! 🌟 Our mini teammates (for the day) had a blast exploring the branch, getting a behind-the-scenes look at their parents' roles, striking their best "surfer" pose, and teasing Juan in Payment Systems! They even had the chance to visit the VP team in the executive suite. They found themselves taking a seat at the big table for decision-making in the boardroom. After all the excitement, the kids relaxed with a coloring activity and shared what they would do as CEO for a day. The older kids collaborated with the marketing team to brainstorm promotions for Arbor's youth accounts. To end the day, the kids joined their parents for lunch and pitched in as the most adorable co-workers in the office. We are truly grateful for the opportunity to provide this fun, educational, and bonding experience for our team members and their families. A big thank you to all of our Arbor team members who brought their little ones to work today! #BringYourKidToWorkDay #ArborFCU #GetMoreWithArbor #WorkPlayFun #HaveFun

Business Member Spotlight 🔦 Meet Brian Hicks, the founder and CEO of Fabricated Components & Assemblies Inc. (FC & A, Inc.), a cornerstone metal fabricator in Allegan, Michigan since 2003. Thanks to a recent collaboration with Arbor Financial's Commercial Lending team, Brian is working to expand his facilities by 12,000 square feet, enhancing his service offerings for both local clients and national partners. Reflecting on his experience with Arbor Financial, Brian shared, "When we began planning our expansion, I initially funded it myself. Turning to financing, I was impressed with Arbor Financial's prompt proposals and responsiveness. They streamlined the process with minimal documentation, offering competitive rates and reduced closing costs." Brian emphasized, "Their local decision-making and attentive service tailored perfectly to my business needs." With a team of 32 and growing, FC & A takes pride in providing top-tier metal fabrication services including design, machining, and laser cutting. Their portfolio spans diverse industries such as pharmaceuticals, food, construction, and OEM, showcasing their national reach and impact. From intricate Michigan themed metal plating at local brewery, Latitude 42 to the stainless steel stairway installation at Grand Valley State University, FC & A's craftsmanship is revered coast to coast. Notably, their work includes specialized compartments for electric vehicle chargers in New York, metal work for prestigious hotels in California, instillations at Gillette Stadium and more, highlighting their versatility and innovation. Brian fondly recalls a significant achievement: "One of our proudest moments was delivering a 23-foot support structure with synchronized motors within six weeks for the General Motors Auto Show in Atlanta back in 2015. It was a testament to our team's dedication and capability." Supporting a local business that garners national acclaim is a privilege. Arbor Financial is proud to partner with Brian and FC & A, celebrating their local roots and nationwide success. Brian, we commend your achievements and eagerly anticipate your continued growth with the new expansion! #BusinessMember #CommercialLending #ArborFCU #GetMoreWithArbor #BusinessBanking
