One Detroit Credit Union is set to open a mini branch within Inkster’s Booker Dozier Recreation Center this fall. This new branch, located at 2025 Middlebelt Rd, represents a significant step towards providing accessible financial services to a community long underserved by traditional banking institutions.
For nearly a century, One Detroit Credit Union has been more than just a bank; it has been a cornerstone of financial stability for Detroit residents. As a non-profit, member-owned financial institution, One Detroit has always championed the needs of those often neglected by mainstream banks. The new Inkster branch aims to continue this legacy by offering financial solutions tailored to the unique needs of the local community.
Portia Powell, Chief Experience Officer of One Detroit Credit Union, highlighted the institution’s unwavering commitment to the community. “Our goal isn’t just to provide financial services; it’s to be a true partner to the people of Inkster. We want to create programs and products that address their specific needs and work together to foster financial wellness and economic growth,” said Powell. This dedication is about more than just transactions; it’s about building a foundation for lasting prosperity.
Inkster is on a path of discovery, growth, and unity, as reflected in its current theme, “Discover. Grow. Unite.” The introduction of One Detroit’s mini branch is a testament to this vision, providing crucial financial accessibility and setting the stage for continued economic development. Mayor Byron Nolen expressed his excitement for this development, recognizing its potential to significantly impact the community. “Today is a momentous day for Inkster as we welcome One Detroit Credit Union to our community center. After years of limited access, our residents will finally have a financial institution that truly understands and supports their needs. One Detroit’s commitment to our community is evident in their dedication to providing comprehensive services and fostering local economic growth. This partnership will empower our residents and create lasting positive change in our city,” said Nolen.
The new mini branch will be a modern, welcoming space equipped with state-of-the-art technology to meet the evolving needs of today’s banking customers. Services will include:
- Greenpath and Mortgage Center Partnerships: Offering financial literacy programs and homeownership resources.
- Account Management: Opening new accounts, managing existing accounts, and providing personalized financial advice.
- Loan Services: Featuring the Refi My Ride program, helping residents refinance their auto loans for better rates.
- ATM Services: 24/7 access to cash withdrawals, deposits, and other essential ATM services.
A community ribbon-cutting event will celebrate this milestone, with city officials and dignitaries in attendance. This opening is more than just a new branch; it’s a promise of brighter days ahead for Inkster residents.
