Michigan First Credit Union adds new features to its online banking offering

With the Twitter feature, users can now receive alerts not only on their mobile devices and e-mails but also via direct messages on Twitter. The alerts can be created for any balance or transaction activity. For instance, members can receive a direct message on Twitter when their direct deposit is credited to their account while on vacation.

Launched in April 2009, Michigan First’s online banking service aims to function as a financial management tool that enables clients to create their monthly budgets as well as monitor and trend transactions. Via this service, customers can scan their checks from home or the office, make a transfer to or from an account at another bank or credit union, pay their bills automatically through the Michigan First online account and view historical credit scores based on past credit inquiries made through Michigan First.

Michigan First Credit Union is a financial institution that offers savings accounts, checking accounts, certificates, money market accounts, consumer and vehicle loans, mortgages, home equity loans, business services, commercial lending, a vehicle purchasing program, Visa credit cards, MasterCard debit cards and online banking services.
