BETHALTO – 1st MidAmerica Credit Union is always looking for ways to help members improve their financial health and reach their financial goals. In 2016, the Savings Tracker Program was instituted to track the amount of money members saved just by doing their business at the credit union. Since the program’s inception in 2016, members have saved over $17,900,000.

Whether it’s refinancing an auto loan and saving $3,000 over the course of the loan with a lower rate, or transferring a high balance credit card over to a 1st MidAmerica Platinum Visa with a lower rate and saving $1,000, team members add to a growing total of money saved.
