BROWNSTOWN, Mich.–Advantage One Credit Union has been recognized by Corp! Magazine as one of Michigan’s Economic Bright Spots for 2017.
For the 10th year, Corp! is celebrating the companies that have continued to achieve economic growth and expansion, while hiring Michigan’s top talent. This year’s 85 winners vary in size and operate in a wide range of sectors, including healthcare services, IT security, financial organizations, engineering and manufacturing. Winners were divided into large, medium and small business categories. Advantage One was selected for the medium category.
Advantage One was nominated for the Bright Spot Award because of their impressive loan portfolio and expanded field of membership. In the past year it experienced a 21% loan growth and averaged a 20% annual increase during the last three years.
“This has been a win-win for members and the credit union because it has enabled our membership to reach their financial goals and dreams while increasing Advantage One’s profitability,” said Christopher Corkery, CEO of Advantage One Credit Union. “Our credit union focuses heavily on providing financial education to both our members and the communities we serve. We take personal interest in helping our members take control of their money. Our staff will review an individual’s current credit situation, explain what makes up their credit score and identify the steps to put them on the path to financial success.”
Coverage will be featured in the July/August issue of Corp! Magazine, with a list and brief synopsis of all 85 winners.
