A Message from MACU's President

The recent Equifax breach is a painful reminder that identity theft can happen to anyone. It’s important to know what you can do to help prevent becoming a victim as well as what to do in the event that it occurs.

PORTAGE, IND - Members Advantage Credit Union (MACU) launched its holiday “Don’t Get Scrooged” campaign in an effort to give back to the community and show people how credit union membership can be different than using banks, while spreading holiday cheer to the Portage community.

As part of the “Don’t Get Scrooged” campaign, MACU will be offering free money at its Portage ATM, doing random acts of kindness, offering amazing limited-time loan specials, and so much more, including:

Our Ohio Street branch in Michigan City is once again a drop off site for Toys for Tots. Please bring your new, unwrapped toys by to donate, and help make the holidays magical for children in our community! 

Did you know that MACU has partnered with Collaborative Insurance to offer members property and casualty insurance?

We had a great time celebrating our members! This year we expanded from one day to an entire week! From September 11 through September 15, MACU offered special Members Appreciation Week loan deals as well as a chance to win one of five free Kindle Fires! To cap off the week, members enjoyed a free picnic lunch on MACU! During lunch, winners of the Kindles were announced. Congratulations! Enjoy your Kindles, and happy reading!

You may be familiar with a home equity loan. It’s a closed-end term loan that uses your home to secure the value, hence the name. These loans are sometimes referred to as second mortgages and usually have a 5-7 year life with one lump sum being borrowed at initiation of the loan.

MICHIGAN CITY — After 55 years, Members Advantage Credit Union still stays true to its name.

“We always try to put ourselves in our members’ shoes and consider how we would like to be treated,” President Frank Beachnau said.
