Our History

Wildfire's story began on September 9, 1937 in the basement of the treasurer Hank Koski's home. Known then as Saginaw Telephone Employees Credit Union, it would be the starting point of a trail filled with light. Helping to guide people to their dreams.

"We switched from a standard bank to Wildfire. Sheri Arndt helped us get set up and even saved us $7k with a consolidation loan. She was very quick to respond to any questions and had us all set in just a matter of days!"

"Josh Wardynski was a dream loan specialist! He was easy to contact, very responsive and friendly. He made the whole process of joining the CU and applying for a loan easy and kept me updated every step of the way. Wildfire CU has the best customer service hands down!"

"I connected with Brittany when I was in the hunt for my new vehicle. She answered all my questions and offered the lowest rate for a vehicle! Once I settled on a vehicle she connected me with a loan officer, which was a quick and painless process. 5 out of 5 recommend!"
