INKSTER, MI (July 24, 2024) — One Detroit Credit Union, a member-owned financial institution, will now service the Inkster community with a mini bank branch slated to open in Fall 2024. The mini branch aims to bring banking services closer to residents by being nestled inside the city’s community hub, the Booker Dozier Recreation Center located at 2025 Middlebelt Rd, Inkster, MI. The branch will serve as a full-service financial center providing financial solutions to the City of Inkster and surrounding communities.
For 90 years, One Detroit Credit Union has served as Detroit’s community financial institution with a mission to impact and change lives. As a non-profit, member-owned institution, One Detroit has offered credible, fair, and reasonably priced financial products and services to the Detroit community, with special concern for those overlooked by the mainstream banking system. The opening of this branch will offer convenient access to financial products and personalized services catered towards residents, holding an emphasis on their needs.
“We intend to become an active community partner and fully support and develop products that meet the specific needs of Inkster residents. Our commitment extends beyond just offering financial services; we plan to be deeply involved in the Inkster community by forming partnerships that foster financial wellness and prosperity for everyone. Through our initiatives, we aim to empower individuals, support local businesses, and contribute to the overall economic growth and stability of the area,” said Portia Powell, Chief Experience Officer (CXO) of One Detroit Credit Union.
The city of Inkster has historically had limited access to convenient financial institutions. The city is currently dedicated to holding a firm emphasis on growth under its current theme, “Discover. Grow. Unite.” The opening of this branch will continue to honor the city’s legacy while laying the foundation for economic growth.
“Today marks a bold step forward for the city of Inkster as we welcome One Detroit Credit Union to the Booker Dozier Recreation Center,” said Mayor Byron Nolen. “I am thrilled that after years of limited access, the city will finally have a convenient financial institution right in our backyard. One Detroit Credit Union’s commitment to partner with our community is evident in their dedication to provide comprehensive financial services, fostering local economic development, and supporting the unique needs of Inkster’s residents and businesses. I look forward to having a more financially empowered community and a long-lasting partnership that will undoubtedly leave a positive mark on our city.”
