I went with First Entertainment because I saw it as the best option for my [actress] daughters and me, and I love how the Credit Union markets itself to the entertainment community.
First Entertainment takes the time to make sure that your money is being managed well. They give me the best rate of return based on my current financial outlook.
When my car broke down during COVID and I was out of work, First Entertainment not only approved me as a member but also gave me a very competitive low-interest rate.
First Entertainment has financing and tools specifically for creators of entertainment, and it’s not just the generic things you find in standard banks. I am a fan!
