Forest Area Federal Credit Union planning sixth branch coming to Mesick fall 2019
FIFE LAKE, MI (July 18, 2019) — Forest Area Federal Credit Union (FAFCU) announced plans to open their sixth location in Mesick, MI in fall 2019. This aligns with the credit unions’ history of servicing small rural communities, by providing innovative and convenient financial services to members. The branch will allow them to serve the Mesick area, where there is currently no financial institution.
“In December we heard Mesick was losing their only financial institution and we felt bad, we felt that we needed to do something. Rodney Larr founded this Credit Union in Fife Lake and the Board has retained that small-town feel, philosophy, and kinship throughout its expansion over the past 35 years. The Board and staff heard the pleas for assistance and we were finally able to put an action plan in place. I’ve spoken several of the residents over the past month and firmly believe that our credit union will be a valued partner in the community. We aren’t coming to be just a 9 to 5 financial institution, but a partner to help you succeed.“ Said Greg Gurka, CEO.
The new branch located at 101 W Mesick Ave Mesick, MI 49668, features a full-service drive-thru and ATM and the knowledgable staff surrounding communities love. The FAFCU staff and board members aren’t the only ones excited about the new expansion.
“People are excited. I think it’s going to be good for the whole town, we need it!” Said Linda Szegda, resident of Mesick.
The drive-thru will be open 8:30 AM – 5:00 PM Monday through Thursday, 8:30 AM – 5:30 PM Friday, and 9 AM – 1 PM Saturday. The lobby will be open 9 AM – 5:00 PM Monday through Thursday and 9 AM – 5:30 PM Friday.
