How does First Entertainment benefit you as a creator of entertainment? 

“I joined First Entertainment in 1999 when a film project took me out of town, and I needed a banking solution that would accept direct deposit for my payroll checks. I’ve never looked back. First Entertainment has been a fantastic bank for me throughout the years, and their relationship with the entertainment industry payroll companies has proven invaluable. It is also very beneficial that they are part of a larger credit union network, which allows for easy banking from any part of the country.”

How would you compare your experiences with First Entertainment with other financial institutions that you have banked with?

“First Entertainment has a much more personal feel than other big brand financial institutions and gives more attention to my individual needs. Their online banking rivals any of the larger institutions.”
