Yona C., Member Since 1997

Yona C. is a proud Clark County native who has been a member of Create Credit Union since 1997. “What initially brought me to the credit union was my new job at the Clark County School District,” she said. “I was in search of a financial institution, and I had a family member who was already a member of the credit union. They shared your available services and also helped me to join.”

When asked how Create Credit Union has helped her reach her financial goals, Yona shared, “Create Credit Union has helped me to reach my financial goals and dreams by allowing me to learn how to better budget and/or manage my finances. As young adults, most times, we’re irresponsible; however, learning what the institution offered changed my way of thinking and spending. I'm a homeowner now because of this change in my mindset.”

Yona also said Create Credit Union stands out for its convenient locations. “What sets Create Credit Union apart from other financial institutions is the plethora of branches located throughout the Valley today. When I first applied as a member, there were only two branches, one located in a small building office near the Palace Station Hotel and Casino and the Tenaya branch, and now there are 6 branches and other full-service ATM locations.”

Thank you, Yona, for being such a loyal and valued member of Create Credit Union!
