Michigan First Credit Union is looking for a few good employees, 14 right now to be exact.
The Lathrup Village-based financial institution is looking for everything from tellers to human resources professionals to add to its staff of 225 people. However, technology pros are in especially high demand for the credit union. About a third of its new positions have some sort of tech angle, such as software developer or IT professional.
The 87-year-old credit union tries quite hard not to act its nearly century-old age, employing the latest and greatest technology into its systems. A large part of its business plan is to stay ahead of tech trends to attract younger clientele who value the ease and access to their finances that such technology can provide.
"We're in the process of testing mobile debit cards," says Linda Douglas, vice president of marketing for
Michigan First Credit Union. "We are always looking to stay ahead of the curve in our mobile and online banking options."
Michigan First Credit Union has 90,000 members and $640 million in assets. It adds more than 1,000 new members each month. It has also hired 70 people so far this year.
