Bringing financial literacy to the heart of the community

Financial wellness should be part of everyday life, and Dow Credit Union put that principle into action with a community event celebrating Financial Awareness Day. The Michigan-based credit union partnered with Saginaw Transit Authority Regional Services (STARS) for “Money on the Move,” a financial literacy event held at a local commuter plaza.

Dow Credit Union staff brought financial education directly to bus riders and passersby—sharing tips, tools, and resources to help people take charge of their financial futures. This included giving out copies of Dow Credit Union’s “Money Matters” handbook, which covers the essentials of budgeting, checking and savings accounts, credit scores, and more.

“This is what it means to reach out to the community and really try to be a multiplier for good,” said Dow Credit Union President/CEO Michael Goad.
