FLINT, MI (July 23, 2026) |
Financial Plus Credit Union celebrated the grand opening of its Bay City East branch with a ribbon-cutting ceremony alongside the Bay Area Chamber of Commerce, community leaders, members, and local partners. Located in the historic former Bay City Public Library at 708 Center Avenue in downtown Bay City, the new branch marks Financial Plus Credit Union's continued investment in the Great Lakes Bay Region.
"Bay City is an important part of our story, and we're excited to continue growing here," said Brad Bergmooser, President and CEO of Financial Plus Credit Union. "This new branch allows us to better serve our members while continuing to invest in the people, businesses, and organizations that make this community such a great place to call home."
The celebration included a special unveiling of Bay City Central High School's brand-new mascot, made possible through Financial Plus’s sponsorship. The unveiling reflected Financial Plus Credit Union's ongoing commitment to supporting local schools and investing in opportunities that strengthen the community. Principal Justin Shaner, school administrators, and community members joined Financial Plus in celebrating this exciting milestone for Bay City Central.
"This building already means so much to the Bay City community," said Keri Janowicz-Kern, Branch Manager of the Bay City East branch. "Since opening our doors, we've already heard so many stories from members about visiting this building as children when it was a library or spending time here with their families. Those memories remind us that this has always been a place where people came together, and we're honored to continue that legacy by helping our members write the next chapter of their financial journey."
Originally constructed in 1922 through funding from the Carnegie Foundation, the building served as the Bay City Public Library for generations before being transformed into Financial Plus Credit Union's newest branch.
The Bay City East branch is the first of five new Financial Plus locations planned as part of the credit union's continued growth across Michigan, further expanding access to convenient, relationship-based financial services for communities across the state.
