The best investments don't always earn interest.

Sometimes those investments feed a hungry family or help a student discover what's possible. Other times, they're the result of a conversation that ends with an "aha!" after sitting down with a financial coach.

Those are the kinds of returns Financial Center has been investing in for more than 70 years. We pour our time, resources, and expertise into the people who choose to bank with us – and the people in our backyard who just need a little support. Together, our almost 200 employees and over 50,000 members continue investing in stronger communities across Indiana every single day.

Doing good, on purpose.

There are countless causes worth supporting. Our three pillars of community involvement help keep our time, resources, partnerships, and volunteer efforts focused on work that connects directly to who we are and where we came from.

No one should have to wonder where their next meal is coming from. That's why we partner with organizations across Indiana helping families put food on the table.

A few of our efforts include:

  • Sponsoring Pack the Pantries for 15+ years alongside FOX59 and CBS4
  • Partnering with the Mozel Sanders Foundation, providing meals and scholarships
  • Collecting food and monetary donations at every Financial Center branch
  • Supporting Gleaners and Midwest Food Bank through donations and employee volunteerism

We were founded at Fort Benjamin Harrison in 1953, and that history continues to shape who we are today. Supporting military members, veterans, and their families is part of our credit union’s identity.

A few of our efforts include:

  • Partnering with the Indiana Military Veterans Hall of Fame
  • Teaching educational classes to veteran support groups in Muncie and Kokomo, Indiana
  • Supporting the Association of the US Army (AUSA) and the Lawrence Exchange Club
  • Operating our DFAS Branch and ITM in the Major General Emmett J. Bean Federal Center

Money feels easier with an expert in your corner. We bring practical financial education into schools, workplaces, community organizations, and neighborhoods across the Hoosier state.

A few of our efforts include:

  • Partnering with 15+ local middle and high schools to provide financial education curriculum
  • Hosting 30+ annual virtual educational workshops with 2,000+ attendees
  • Teaching hundreds of workplace Lunch & Learn sessions through our Work Perks program
  • Employing a team of full-time employees dedicated to teaching financial education
  • Supporting educators with school supplies through the GR8 Paper Push with WISH-TV
  • Activating on Ball State University’s campus with our Student Center Branch and other programs
  • Presenting fun, educational episodes monthly on Fox59’s Indy Now

Financial wellness speaks every language.

Everyone deserves to feel understood. At Financial Center, we invest in multilingual education through events and workshops. Our team additionally partners with international consulates and community organizations across Indiana to help bilingual and immigrant communities access trusted banking service.

That commitment has earned us the Juntos Avanzamos designation, recognizing credit unions dedicated to inclusivity and expanding access to financial services for multicultural communities.

Good advice is worth sharing.

We're big believers that financial education belongs to everyone. That's why we've made our resources free and available to the entire community – no membership required. You’re always invited to:

  • Talk one-on-one with an experienced financial coach
  • Stream monthly webinars covering real-life financial topics
  • Listen to practical conversations on the Carpe Dime podcast
  • Use interactive calculators, articles, and learning modules

And if, along the way, you decide Financial Center is the right partner for your financial life, we'd be honored to welcome you as a credit union member.

A scholarship can change what's next.

Every year, Financial Center awards thousands of dollars in scholarships to members pursuing higher education. It's one more way we help the next generation of members build healthier financial futures.
