Life. Shared. means that we're all in this thing called life together. And since 1A is a not-for-profit financial institution, Life. Shared. not only means that we'll continue to channel profits back into the credit union to provide you with low loan rates and high returns on your investments, we'll also be out there in the community as sponsors of local events and charities, as volunteers for worthy causes and as participants in fun activities. We invite you to join in on the fun!
I have been a 1st Advantage member for over 18 years and I am grateful to have such a professional staff handling my financial transactions. During a six-month time of unemployment, 1st Advantage was willing to work with me on my payments. Things are finally getting back on track and I just want to say thank you to 1st Advantage and the considerate staff.

Our Community is on the Move
Our Life. Shared community forum is on the move! A new and improved version of the site will be launched shortly in Advantagenet. But don’t worry. You’ll get the same great service and information regarding your personal finances including:
- Access to experts who can offer insights and answers to direct questions.
- A financial chat room for you to express and exchange thoughts regarding financial issues pertaining to everything from budgets, credit and debt to fun spending, taxes and travel.
- A Money Talks forum where you can share your "Money Confession" on ways you saved (or spent) a big batch of cash.
The best part is the community will be part of a new feature that will make handling your finances easier than ever. 1A is proud to introduce Budget Buddy, our brand new Personal Finance Management tool that makes managing your money quick and easy. With Budget Buddy, you can keep track of all your accounts (1A and non-1A), personal debt and even calculate your net worth. Budget Buddy will also help you get a better picture of your overall financial health by organizing your accounts, credit cards and investments. Best of all, it’s absolutely FREE.
So, whether you've got a huge investment portfolio or you're just trying to keep a balanced checkbook, Budget Buddy will soon become your favorite financial tool.
That’s just one of the exciting new features that our new Life. Shared community will be offering. Stay tuned!
