Eastern Michigan University Credit Union Introduces New Cross Street Branch

As students flock back to campus, Eastern Michigan University Credit Union (EMUCU) is excited to announce the opening of its new full-service branch located at 611 W. Cross Street. This strategic location is nestled conveniently across from the EMU campus in downtown Ypsilanti, allowing easy access for students, faculty, staff, and local community members.

Commitment to the Community

EMUCU, a division of the University of Michigan Credit Union (UMCU), has maintained a strong presence in Ypsilanti for many years. The establishment of the Cross Street branch underscores the credit union's dedication to serving the neighborhood. Tiffany Ford, the CEO of EMUCU, stated, "Ypsilanti is a community EMUCU has been proud to be part of for many years. Our Cross Street branch gives us another opportunity to show up, build relationships, and ensure that the students, families, and residents who walk through our doors know we are here for them."

Innovative Banking Solutions

The new branch isn't just about traditional banking services like checking and savings accounts. EMUCU is also embracing modern technology by offering interactive video teller machines (ITMs). These machines allow members to connect face-to-face with EMUCU team members virtually, providing the convenience of in-person interactions without the need to physically visit the bank.

In addition to offering financial products, EMUCU provides essential financial education workshops and group sessions on various topics such as budgeting, improving credit scores, and effective debt management. This focus on financial literacy aims to empower students and residents alike, enabling them to make informed financial decisions throughout their lives.

Tailored Solutions for Every Need

For individuals looking for competitive rates on home, vehicle, or personal loans, the Cross Street branch is equipped to assist them. EMUCU members are also eligible for the exclusive Block E® debit card, which is only available through EMUCU, providing added value and recognition to its members.

Leadership with a Personal Touch

Marcus English, Chief Operations Officer and EMU alum, emphasized the importance of having financial services close to the campus, saying, "As an EMU graduate myself, I know how important it is for students and the community to have convenient access to financial services, along with the financial education they need to make confident decisions about their money. We are committed to being a resource for students and residents as they navigate their finances today and build their financial futures."
