Unity One Credit Union on using Zogo to reach high school students

In 1927, the financial cooperative that eventually became Unity One Credit Union was created by a small group of railway clerks with the Great Northern Railroad located in Minnesota who needed a financial institution that would work for the benefit of everyday people like them.

Today, Unity One continues to serve members across Texas, Kansas and Minnesota, bringing smart solutions to the table to help members live life more boldly and achieve financial success.

The credit union has also partnered with Zogo to enhance their financial education initiatives.
