Move Your Money

Don't Just Buy Local, Bank Local

Investing, lending and borrowing local are all part of a self-determined financial future for individuals and our community at large. We encourage the community to move its money to local credit unions, and to refinance loans and mortgages with credit unions as a means to keeping the community's wealth recirculating in the area. Led by Buffalo First! board chair Kelly Maurer, who has worked with the Buffalo Cooperative Federal Credit Union for 12 years, we are providing workshops and information sessions about how to move your money responsibly, and how to maximize your community impact.

Pledge to move your money! Our next workshop and informational session is November 17th at 7pm, at the Buffalo First! offices, 910 Main Street in Buffalo.

Then, tell us how much money you've transferred: Click here!
