Have you ever considered the difference you make when you shop at a local business? You help keep jobs and dollars in the community, and preserve a business that makes where we live unique. Now take that one step further, what if you financed local? What if the credit card in your wallet was from a local financial institution like American 1 Credit Union? What if you purchased a vehicle from an area dealership, and financed it with American 1 Credit Union in Jackson, Michigan - not some big bank in New York that’s only concerned about shareholders? That is buying power that supports, strengthens, and grows our communities.
Financing local is taking the idea of shopping local that extra step. It’s a way of doing business that extends an extra hand to our communities. When the businesses where we live thrive, then the quality of life in our hometown improves. Buying local is only half the equation. Finance local. Support your local financial institutions.
