Focus on your health wellness

First Basin has you covered – Take time to focus on your health wellness

The year 2020 sure did come in with a bang. At First Basin, we understand that life can unexpectedly throw things our way that we were not planning on. As your credit union, we will stand by your side throughout these rough patches and we will all come out stronger when it passes – because this all will come to pass.

We hope you are making the very best of your time at home. The truth is, I don’t think any of us get to really embrace our home lives as much as we’d like to, simply because are regular day-to-day is busy. Our jobs keep us on the go, our children always have somewhere to be, our furbabies need love and our time, dinner needs to be made, our spouses need attention, too, and the list is endless.

Since First Basin has your money safe and secure – and you have access to us at home 24/7 through our Online Banking, Mobile App, and ATMs, how about focusing on your overall health?
