How Great Lakes Credit Union Is Turning a Banking Desert Into A Financial Lifeline

 

Through a partnership with The Leaders Network, a coalition of local faith-based organizations, Great Lakes Credit Union is embedding itself in Chicago’s Austin neighborhood with a new approach to financial wellness.

Rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions, the credit union is meeting residents where they are—providing support and services tailored to those who’ve long been excluded from the traditional financial system.
