The car you are shopping for right now is the car you will drive through a Michigan winter. 🚗

Worth thinking about while the lots are clearing out last year's models.

Our auto loans start at 3.99% APR*, whether you are buying new, buying used, or refinancing what you already have. The decision gets made by people who drive the same roads you do, which usually means a faster answer.

Apply online or stop by any branch. What are you looking at?

*Advertised rates are subject to change without notice and are based on individual creditworthiness, loan term, down payment, vehicle age and mileage, and other qualifying factors. Not all applicants will qualify for the lowest rate or any loan. Subject to credit approval.

September is National Preparedness Month, and your family is probably better at this than you think. 💙

You already plan for storms. You plan for the school year. You plan for a trip.

Money deserves the same kind of plan.

Try one question at dinner tonight: what kinds of surprises might a family need to save for? A car repair. A sick pet. A cracked phone screen. Kids get there faster than we expect.

What would your kid say first?

An allowance only teaches something if it has rules. 💛

Four that work:
1. Give the money a job. Spend, save, share, so it isn't a mystery.
2. Make it regular. Nobody can plan around something unpredictable.
3. Let them spend it wrong. A ten dollar mistake now beats a much bigger one later.
4. Talk about it after. Questions, not a lecture.

Number three is the one most of us skip, and it's the one that actually works.

What does allowance look like at your house?

Every dollar you keep here stays here. 💙

That's not a slogan, it's how a member owned credit union works. Your deposits don't go to shareholders somewhere else, because we don't have any.

They get lent back out right here: an auto loan in Rochester Hills, a small business owner in Pontiac, a family in Troy buying their first home.

Ready to make the switch to local? We'd love to have you.

You don't need a finance degree to talk to your teenager about money. You need three questions. 💛

1. What's the most expensive thing you want right now?
2. How long would it take you to save for it?
3. What would you give up to get there faster?

That's it. That's the whole conversation, and it works because they're doing the math instead of you.

Which question would land hardest at your house?

Chief Financial Credit Union is hiring multiple positions in Rochester Hills:

Ever wish the work you do stayed in your own community?

That's the whole idea behind a credit union. We're member-owned and not-for-profit, so every dollar our members keep here stays here, in Rochester Hills, Troy, Pontiac and Dearborn.

Full descriptions for all three are on our careers page.

If you financed your car somewhere else when rates were higher, you may still be paying for that. 🚗

That number does not fix itself.

Refinancing is one conversation. Either it saves you money or it doesn't, and either way you finally know.

Auto loans as low as 3.99% APR at Chief Financial. Rates and terms may vary and are subject to change. Contact us for details.

Do you know the rate on your car loan without looking it up?

🔒 Security tip: back to school is fundraiser season, and scammers know it.

Before you pay anything that claims to be for the school, check three things:
1. Did the request come through the school's official channel, or a text or DM?
2. Are they asking for a gift card, a payment app, or a wire? That's a red flag.
3. Does the sender's email address actually match the school's real domain?

When in doubt, call the school office directly. It takes two minutes.

Have you seen a fake school fundraiser going around yet?

The first week of school is when you find out what your kid actually learned about money. 💛

Lunch money disappears faster than expected. There's a fee nobody mentioned. A friend needs a dollar, every single day.

None of that is a crisis. It's the best teaching window you'll get all year, because the stakes are real and the numbers are small.

What surprised you most about your kid and money this year?
