Dover, DE (June 29, 2026) |
Educational Community Alliance Credit Union, a financial institution focused on supporting educators, school staff, and their families, is expanding its offering through a new partnership with InvestiFi, the award-winning digital investing solutions provider for financial institutions.
InvestiFi’s solutions will be embedded directly within the credit union’s online banking platform, providing Educational Community Alliance Credit Union’s members with the opportunity to engage with stocks, ETFs, and cryptocurrency from within their existing banking experience.
Founded in 1934 and based in Toledo, Ohio, Educational Community Alliance Credit Union has proudly served the educational community for more than 90 years, supporting teachers, school staff, retirees, students, and families across Toledo and the surrounding school districts. What began in a small room beneath the Toledo Public Schools administration building has evolved into a trusted financial partner for educators and school communities throughout the region.
Today, the credit union combines personalized, local service with modern financial tools, supporting members at every stage of life. Alongside digital banking, members have access to services such as debit card rewards and first-time homebuyer programs, as well as resources designed to help younger members build strong financial habits early.
Educational Community Alliance Credit Union is set to become the first institution in the Toledo area to provide integrated investing services. Through InvestiFi’s solutions, members will have access to a range of investing capabilities, including self-directed investing and Guided Investing portfolios tailored to individual financial goals and risk preferences. Members will also benefit from integrated financial education resources designed to support a more informed approach to investing.
Beth Carpenter, CEO of Educational Community Alliance Credit Union, said: "Educational Community Alliance Credit Union is committed to supporting the long-term financial wellbeing of the communities we serve. By partnering with InvestiFi, we are able to enhance the financial experience for our members. This collaboration brings investing closer to home, offering integrated tools right within their existing online banking platform, helping us better serve our members at every stage of life and all levels of investing experience.”
Kian Sarreshteh, CEO of InvestiFi, commented on the announcement: “Embedded investing is redefining the role of financial institutions in their members’ financial lives. As expectations evolve, members are no longer willing to manage their finances across multiple platforms. They expect a unified, intelligent experience within their primary banking relationship.”
“Financial institutions that embrace this shift are positioning themselves at the center of long-term financial growth and loyalty. We’re proud to partner with Educational Community Alliance Credit Union to help deliver a more seamless, future-ready investing experience to their members.”
