Members Mobile

MEMBERS MOBILE (MM) IS A RADICALLY NEW MOBILE AND FINANCIAL SERVICE EXPERIENCE FOR CREDIT UNION (CU) MEMBERSWe are a US Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) – think Consumer Cellular or Mint Mobile – and a pioneering wireless service provider exclusively for credit union members.We want to empower millions of hard-working Americans who are struggling in today’s economic and social environment. Our co-founders realized that traditional banks use people to make money, while Credit Unions use money to help people. Rooted in purpose and synchronized with the values of the Credit Union Movement, they decided to create Members Mobile Inc. at the end of 2022 to improve the financial wellness of the +131 million Credit Union members AND simultaneously provide the CU with a platform to engage digitally with its current and prospective members.EMPOWERING CREDIT UNION MEMBERS TO IMPROVE FINANCIAL WELLNESS ToggleHOW? Providing simple, high-quality, and better value mobile telephony services bringing meaningful direct savings in their mobile service subscription bill every month.

All of that at the tip of the finger. ToggleA DISRUPTIVE PROPOSITION FOR CU MEMBERS By signing up to Members Mobile, a CU member can get: – A SIM card to access Members Mobile Service, with the same modern 4G/5G Cellular Network of a leading US carrier AND Better Rates. – Simple Smartphone Plans with automatic Incentives to Save. – Best Smartphone Financing Options. – Bundled with Credit Union service offerings and select fintech applications.
