MSUFCU to open Sparrow branch, add six new positions

Sparrow Health employees will soon have a new location to do their banking with Michigan State University Federal Credit Union – and a convenient one, at that. In 2013, MSUFCU will open its tenth Mid-Michigan location inside the Sparrow Professional Building.
 
“MSUFCU has been serving the Sparrow caregivers for more than a year and we have many caregivers as our members,” says April Clobes, executive vice president and chief operating officer for MSUFCU. “It means easier access to MSUFCU for the caregivers with a convenient onsite branch location and opportunity to meet with our financial services representatives to answer questions and help with financial decisions.”
 
The new 1,200 square foot branch was announced after MSUFCU was chosen from among seven financial institutions that submitted proposals to become the financial services provider inside the Sparrow Professional Building. According to Clobes, MSUFCU will offer Sparrow employees more than a place to put their money.
 
“We will also work with Sparrow to provide financial education to all the caregivers on topics such as buying a first home, to understanding credit scores, to programs for youth members,” Clobes says.
 
The new branch will employ a staff of five full-time and one part-time worker. MSUFCU now has 169,000 members, including MSU and Oakland University staff, students, alumni and their families.
