From a single spark, we kindle a lasting fire.

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.

From this humble starting point, Wildfire has grown from a small spark to a bright star. Today we have four branches in the Great Lakes Bay Region of Michigan, along with two school branches and a business office in Mt. Pleasant. Wildfire serves the entire state of Michigan allowing anyone who works, lives, worships or attends school in the state of Michigan to join. Just as we did during our humble beginnings over eighty years ago, we continue to strive to be the best place for our members to manage their finances and serve our community.

What’s That Triangle in Our Logo? Meet the Flutter.

You may have noticed the triangle-shaped element in our logo and wondered what it means. That shape is called the Flutter, and it’s more than just a design—it's a symbol of who we are.

We’ve taken this opportunity to redefine the Flutter and make it a central part of our brand identity. It now represents the three essential pillars that make Wildfire Credit Union what it is: Our Members, Our Employees, and Our Community.

At the center of it all are our members—the largest and most vital part of the Flutter. Everything we do starts with you.

Our employees form the core, bringing our values to life through dedicated service, personal connections, and a commitment to excellence. When we support our team, they can deliver the personalized, exceptional service you deserve.

And finally, our community—the place we call home. Through volunteering, donations, and sponsorships, we work to make a meaningful impact where it matters most.

Together, these three parts form the new Flutter Unification, a symbol of our purpose and a daily reminder of what we stand for.

It’s not just a logo—it’s our mission in motion: to blaze new trails, to lift one another up, and to create lasting, positive change.
