Meriwest Credit Union has partnered with the Financial Fitness Association (FFA) to help raise awareness and promote financial control amongst its members. As a result, this partnership expands Meriwest’s field of membership to applicants who do not qualify for membership under current eligibility options.
This means that applicants in Arizona and California seeking to join Meriwest outside of the designated service area, now qualify for membership if they are an existing member of FFA or join FFA. In support of the agreement, Meriwest CU will pay the initial membership fee for new FFA members.
The Financial Fitness Association (FFA), a nonprofit organization founded in 2004, partners with credit unions and organizations to promote financial fitness and guide consumers through financial hurdles.
The FFA help consumers address many common financial concerns including:
- Understanding and improving their credit scores
- Guarding against identity theft
- Making the transition from college to career
- Managing credit cards efficiently
- Benefitting from new financial products and services
- Managing finances easily and effectively
- Planning for a prosperous future
Meriwest Credit Union VP of Marketing, Teresa Caseras, remarked, “We are so excited to be partnering with FFA because it will allow us to help those outside our footprint and give our community another resource and set of tools to help them manage, protect, and conserve their money at every stage of their life.”
