What’s Happening
Your Credit Union:
We've been here for you during tough times in the past, we're here for you now; and we'll be here for you tomorrow.
When it is all said and done, 2008 will probably not be a year looked upon with 
nostalgia by many of us. Nationwide, many are struggling with tough economic challenges, and we have certainly had our share of those here in Ohio and southern Michigan.
It is in times like these that the difference between your credit union and other for-profit providers of financial services becomes more evident. More information regarding Directions from Barry Shaner, President and CEO...
A Better Way to Pay for College
Directions Credit Union offers student loans to help you fill the funding gaps that federal aid can leave behind. By partnering with other credit unions to form Credit Union Student Choice, we are able to offer members lower cost financing options that will help you or a family member achieve your dream of a higher education. Our new loan product was truly designed with your best interest in mind and offers lower loan rates, zero origination fees and more flexible repayment options.
