Here are the top 10 things Gen Z consumers should consider when choosing a bank or credit union:
1. Technology and Mobile Apps: We know that younger generations are tech-savvy, and so are we! Look for a bank or credit union with a user-friendly online and a mobile banking app that lets you manage your money on the go. Check if they offer features like mobile check deposit, budgeting tools, and real-time notifications to stay in control of your finances.

2. No Hidden Fees: Nobody likes surprises, especially when it comes to fees. Metro Credit Union believes in transparency, and that means no hidden charges. Look for a financial institution that offers straightforward fee structures and won’t charge you small fees or additional costs.
3. Community Involvement: At Metro Credit Union, we take pride in supporting our community. Consider choosing a bank or credit union that gives back and actively engages in community initiatives.
4. Online Banking Security: Security is a top priority at Metro Credit Union. When choosing a financial institution, make sure they use the latest security measures to protect your personal and financial information.

8. ATM Network: You're always on the move, and you need access to your money wherever you go. Check if the bank or credit union has a broad ATM network, so you won't have to stress about finding a fee-free ATM when you need cash.
