“Credit unions are made up of people working together to achieve a better life for themselves and their communities,” said Tracie Kenyon, president and CEO of Montana’s Credit Unions. “In our eyes, that begins with Montana’s students. “Our credit unions aim to provide them with the tools, support, and opportunities they need to learn and grow both inside and outside the classroom.”
This is just a small fraction of Montana credit unions’ efforts to elevate the communities around them. The credit unions remain steadfast in their dedication to provide Montana students with resources to make them successful students and pave their way to a healthy financial future.
