Since 1988, we have led the effort to help serve students.

First Miami Student was established by visionary students who were members of Associated Student Government (ASG) including Randi Thomas, Jeff Carpenter, and Mike Thomas. The credit union began as an initiative of ASG; the origin stemmed from the need for a financial institution on campus to serve students.

To illustrate the dedication that these students had, the ASG elects donated their office space in Shriver Center to become the original location of First Miami until our move to Armstrong Student Center in 2014. Financial support from the university soon followed as Ed Demske, Miami University’s Chief Financial Officer, contributed $98,000 to aid in credit union operations.

Since its founding, First Miami has become a thriving financial institution that provides all of the products and services one can expect from any other financial institution.

OUR MISSION

First Miami has evolved into a student credit union focused on educating its members about financial issues and ways in which students can build good credit.
