About Us
Members of First Basin Credit Union formed SAVE First Basin to protect our credit union from becoming just another bank. After learning about the board’s proposal to convert our credit union, we believe that this conversion is not in the interests of the members. We also believe the board is not shooting straight with members. We are working to protect members’ good rates and low fees and member-ownership by opposing this conversion.
