Credit Union Q&A: University of Hawai’i Federal Credit Union

The University of Hawai’i Federal Credit Union was spearheaded by 10 UH colleagues in the mid-1950s. Now, the credit union serves more than 30,000 members, including employees, students, alumni and family members of the University of Hawai’i.

Zogo content coordinator Hannah Lang spoke with UHFCU vice president of marketing Bari Carroll about financial education, the credit union’s success with Zogo and how our company can continue to improve in the future.
