Lakes Community Credit Union opened their location at 350 N. Park Boulevard one year ago, and are now opening their doors to welcome customers from Addison and Oakland Townships.
Lakes merged with the Orion/Oxford Credit Union in May of 1999, and opened their 8,250 square-foot facility in Lake Orion last January. The building includes four drive-up areas that have extended hours, as well as a drive-up ATM machine. Safe deposit boxes and a computer kiosk in the lobby are also planned.
Anyone who lives or works in the Lake Orion, Oxford, Addison Township and Oakland Township area is eligible to do business at Lakes Community Credit Union.
“We pride ourselves on our high interest rates on savings accounts and low interest rates on loans,” Chevrier says. “And compared to banks, we have very few fees. We have low rates and no annual fees on our Visa cards.”
Lakes Community Credit Union is a non-profit financial institution. All earnings are returned to the membership in the form of high-return savings and low-rate loans.
The credit union has been providing members quality service since 1937, offering savings, share accounts, individual retirement accounts, certificates, 25-C accounts, a debit card, Visa, club accounts, home mortgage loans, share draft checking accounts, home equity line-of-credit loans, secured loans, and auto loans.
If your employer participates in direct deposit/payroll deduction, or if you are the recipient of a regular government or pension check, you can have your money directly deposited into a credit union account.
“We offer Internet banking at no cost, as well as telephone banking at no cost,” Chevrier says. “We purchased state of the art banking equipment which we will be implementing in the near future.” Lakes Community Credit Union’s website is www.lakescommunitycu.org.
“We hope to improve our Internet banking with immediate updates and E-statements,” says Chevrier.
