Teacher Solutions Program

Financial Solutions with Educators in Mind

 

Our Inspiring Journey Began with Teachers

Welcome to the ICCU Teacher Solutions Program, designed with one purpose in mind: to empower educators while supporting their financial needs. Since our inception in 1958, Isabella Community Credit Union (ICCU) has been guided by the vision of our founding teachers from Mt. Pleasant High School. Their foresight led to the creation of a financial institution deeply rooted in community values and member satisfaction. As we reflect on our rich history, we proudly offer the ICCU Teacher Solutions Program, offering products and services designed for stability, flexibility, and peace of mind, we simplify banking processes, offer exclusive discounts, and provide personalized financial advice.

At ICCU, we understand the invaluable contributions teachers make to society, shaping the minds of tomorrow's leaders. That's why we've crafted a specialized program tailored to address the unique challenges faced by educators. With rising classroom expenses and the demands of the profession, teachers deserve banking solutions that work for them. We are dedicated to supporting teachers in thriving both inside and outside the classroom.

Join us at ICCU and let us be your partner in achieving financial success because when teachers succeed, our communities flourish.
