When I had extra money not doing anything in a savings account, a representative reached out to me to open a money market account. When I bought my first car, you gave me that loan. You've helped me on my fin...

- Tawndra S. · 22 Years of Membership

I started in the Senate in 1977. I was in need of a car and had just a few hundred dollars to my name since coming from Minnesota.
