more this year. It is time to Borrow Better. We work to save you money, save
you time and make your borrowing experience Better.
Let’s face it, we all get busy and when it comes time for a new vehicle, new
house, new toy, or even consolidating debts; we just want it done. When you
Borrow Better at Wildfire, we make it easy as possible. Whether you come into
one of our branches, call us on the phone or apply online; we are here to make it
Better.

Just Got Better!
Last month, we
told you about the
initiative to raise
funds to purchase
water for our
neighbors in Flint.
Our employees
donated money
to wear jeans to
work on two specified Fridays and
we encouraged our members to
join in as we collected water at
each of our branches.
That’s right. We have just added some enhancements to both our
online banking and mobile banking systems that make accessing your
Wildfire information easier.
On Thursday, March 17th, in
partnership with Hidden Harvest,
Wildfire delivered 7 pallets of
water to the Food Bank of Eastern
Michigan. Seven pallets of water
equals 11,520 bottles of water!
Here are some pictures we took of
our delivery.

display, making it easier to identify your VISA card
