Arbor Financial Credit Union is a Michigan-based financial cooperative offering a range of banking services to individuals and businesses. It originated in 1935 as the Kalamazoo School Employees Credit Union to meet educators' financial needs and rebranded in 2016 to Arbor Financial Credit Union to reflect broader membership and ongoing community ties. It operates ten branches in southwest Michigan and serves more than 40,000 members across the state. Its core values—working together, doing the right thing, being creative, and having fun—shape how staff interact with members and how financial guidance is delivered. The organization is headquartered in Kalamazoo and focuses on serving the southwest Michigan region. 

It positions itself as a community-oriented option within the banking sector, prioritizing individualized financial solutions for families and businesses of various types and providing access to financial experts who can offer honest advice. It also emphasizes involvement in volunteer initiatives and scholarship programs within the communities it serves. Recent developments include a February 2026 initiative that launched a credit card balance transfer offer at a 2.99% introductory rate with no balance transfer fee.
