iTHINK Financial is celebrating a milestone in their growth by reaching 100,000 members worldwide. The $1.90 billion, not-for-profit credit union will celebrate with members this February by giving away 100 Grand candy bars at all branches as well as offering existing members $100 for every friend or family member that joins iTHINK Financial through their FamilyPlus program. 

iTHINK Financial is the largest credit union in South Florida and was founded in 1969. A group of IBM employees got together (each giving $0.25) to form iTHINK Financial (formerly known as IBMSECU). Who would have thought that a set of quarters in 1969 would turn into one of the nation’s largest credit unions?

Mike Miller, President/CEO at iTHINK Financial said, “Our growth over the last 50 years has been amazing! Even with our success, our mission, vision, commitment to the community and core values have remained the same. Our mission is to deliver service excellence to the Membership and value to the communities we serve while ensuring the safety and soundness of the Credit Union.”

The 100,000th member joined on Friday, January 21st at the Delray West branch location. Arlene F., lives in Boynton Beach and came to the credit union to refinance her automobile. The credit union presented her with one thousand dollars. 

“Our members are everything to us!” stated Mike Townsend, CCD, Chairman of the Board at iTHINK Financial. We are like family here. When you join the credit union, you aren’t just a member, you are an owner! We strive to help our members and their families. We know giving back to the communities we are in is so important.
