At Midwest Family Federal Credit Union, you BELONG. You are not a customer, client, or consumer. You are a MEMBER. In fact, you are PART OWNER of the credit union. The Family exists for you and by you.

How? Good question. When you decide to bank at Midwest Family Federal Credit Union, you buy a single share of the company for $5.00. The share is deposited into your share account, or savings account. There is virtually no risk of losing any portion of your $5.00 share and you will get the full amount back if and when you decide to close your account. However, your share account must have a minimum balance of $5.00 in order to remain a member.

Can you add money to your share account? Please do! This account works just like a regular, old-fashioned savings account. You can deposit and withdraw money as often as you like with no penalties or fees. The only exception is that you must keep your original share amount of $5.00 in this account.

Make money while you save! The balance in your share account will earn dividends paid quarterly. Check out our Savings rates now for the current annual percentage rates and yields.

Your buck starts here. Once you open a share account and deposit your $5.00 share, you earn full membership rights and may now take advantage of all the products and services available exclusively to our members.

Your money is safe and secure. Funds on deposit at Midwest Family Federal Credit Union are federally insured by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) up to $250,000.

Can’t keep your hands out of the cookie jar? Managing and transferring your money between accounts is so easy that you may be tempted to dip into your share (savings) account more than you planned. If this sounds like you, open a club account today.

If you’re saving up for something special including a vacation or Christmas gifts, try a club account. No minimum balance is required. Plus, YOU’LL EARN DIVIDENDS on your balance paid quarterly. Check out our Savings Rates now for the current annual percentage rates and yields.

Christmas club accounts have a fee of $5 every time you transfer or withdrawal from the account. This account is to encourage you to save for Christmas. The funds in the Christmas club account will automatically transfer into your checking account on November 1st.

Imagine the feeling of pride and accomplishment you’ll experience as you watch your club account grow. When you reach your financial goal and buy what you hoped for, start planning your next big dream.

REFINANCE KNOCK OUT!!!

We want to help you KNOCK OUT your debt! As a Member of our Family, let us help you get the most value out of your money! Refinance your current loans from other lenders with a loan from Midwest Family Federal Credit Union and we’ll lower your payment GUARANTEED! After all, you work hard for your money and that’s what we’re here for!

In February 2018, the Credit Union revamped its auto loan program. All the changes benefit the MEMBERS who will SAVE, SAVE, SAVE!

Competition from other banks and dealers has driven down APR’s so that we can continue to be the Best Place to Get a Loan!

Want a shorter term? We’ve added a 24-month option so you can finish your payments faster than ever!

We service credit scores A+, A, B, C, D and E.

Refinance from another financial institution to lower your monthly payment and/or reduce the overall cost of your vehicle’s loan!

Deciding which new or used car, truck, van, or RV you’ll buy is a lot of fun but also takes some careful planning and research.

What factors do you consider when buying? Year, make, model, purchase price? Of course. But what about loan cost? You know, the thousands of additional dollars you may shell out over the course of your new loan. Heading off to the dealer without a loan strategy in place could cost you far more than you planned.

Before you buy, check out our highly competitive Auto Loan rates. We offer low rates, 100% financing, quick approval, and terms up to 84 months.

What’s that? You already financed your car through the dealer? Don’t worry. We can fix that! Ask us how you can shrink your monthly payments by refinancing your vehicle.

Remember, our credit union is not-for-profit. The earnings we make don’t pay executive bonuses – they are returned to our members in the form of lower loan rates, higher deposit rates, and other services and benefits. Financing through Midwest Family Federal Credit Union is good for your bottom line, the other members of The Family, and your community in which we invest. In every way, this is a GOOD LOAN!

When most pay day loan stores are charging you well over 300% APR, we’re here to offer significantly lower rates AND opportunities to borrow at a lower rate with each subsequent quick cash loan from us!

Let our family help yours!
