FLINT, MI (April 23, 2025) |
Financial Plus Credit Union and Kettering University have launched a strategic partnership aimed at enhancing financial education and resources for students. The collaboration was celebrated with a special announcement at Kettering’s Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Garage, where Financial Plus leadership unveiled the exclusive Kettering-branded debit card and placed a symbolic Financial Plus sticker on the University’s SAE Formula car.
“Kettering students are known for their innovation, leadership, and problem-solving skills, and we are proud to support their success beyond the classroom,” said Brad Bergmooser, President & CEO of Financial Plus Credit Union. “Through this partnership, we’re ensuring that students have access to financial tools and education that will empower them throughout their academic and professional journeys.”
“Kettering students push boundaries — and this partnership equips them with the resources to go even further,” Jennifer Patterson, Kettering University Vice President of University Advancement and External Relations, said. “Financial Plus understands that preparing tomorrow’s leaders means investing in their success today, in anything they endeavor to achieve.”
The multi-year commitment from Financial Plus directly supports a variety of initiatives aimed at enhancing student experiences and promoting financial wellness. The credit union will serve as the official Student Orientation Partner, providing resources for incoming students and participating in key campus events like Bulldog Fest and community service projects. Additionally, Financial Plus will play an active role in university life through financial wellness seminars, career development opportunities, and ongoing campus engagement.
Financial Plus will be a presenting sponsor for the Major Sobey Memorial Golf Outing benefiting Kettering/General Motors Institute Alumni Associations, as well as a sponsor of Kettering’s Formula SAE, VEXU Robotics team, and Kettering’s Robotics Community Center. Beyond student engagement, Financial Plus unveiled a Kettering-branded debit card, launching in Summer 2025, offering students, faculty, and alumni a unique way to bank with a credit union committed to their community.
