First Financial Business Member Spotlight: Mount Springs Ministries

“First Financial genuinely cares about helping my business, it’s like being part of a family.”

We’re back with another business member spotlight – this time featuring a non-profit organization whose mission is to give back to our local community. Mount Springs Ministries, located in Neptune, NJ – helps those in need by providing food, home appliances, and paying toward rent. The organization has been able to support various individuals and families through donations from the community, local businesses, and by paying out of their own pocket.

Shortly after Mount Springs Ministries began their work, local community members heard about the organization and reached out to help support. “These people were genuinely concerned about how they can make my organization better,” Robert Turner of Mount Springs Ministries shared.

Robert initially came into First Financial for a personal account and then opened a business account for his non-profit organization. Not only was Robert pleased with the service, but he was excited to work with a credit union that truly cares about his business and the work he’s doing for the local community.

First Financial Business Member Spotlight: Papa John’s

“First Financial is always there for our financial needs as busy business owners.”

As 2022 comes to a close, we’re reflecting on all the supportive individuals we’ve had the privilege to work with this year – including our business members. We’re so grateful to help businesses in our community thrive and are excited for even more growth in the years ahead.

With that said, we’re happy to share our next First Financial member spotlight – a series where we feature some of our personal and business credit union members. This time we’re highlighting Ayesha and Syed Nawazuddin, owners of Papa John’s in Neptune and West Long Branch, NJ.

Ayesha and Syed joined First Financial in 2019 after receiving better care than they previously had at other larger banks. Since then, they’ve opened a business checking and savings account, an auto loan, and they even added personal accounts. “We feel like a close family, and they are always there for our financial needs,” Ayesha shared.

Learn more about their experience banking with First Financial in the video below.

First Financial Business Member Spotlight: Hairstylist for the Nations

“I have many ideas about my business and First Financial knows how to help.”

It’s Small Business Saturday, and we are taking the opportunity to highlight one of our wonderful business members to encourage the support of shopping and using local Monmouth & Ocean County small businesses! With that being said, welcome back to our First Financial member spotlight – a series where we feature some of our personal and business credit union members who we’ve happily worked with over the years. This time we’re shining a light on business member Ameerah Jones, the owner of Hairstylist for the Nations in Shrewsbury, NJ.

Ameerah started Hairstylist for the Nations in 2012 after working in the fashion industry. One of the first reasons she decided to bank with First Financial was because there were no monthly fees for business checking accounts. Over time, Ameerah learned that First Financial met her needs as a freelance business owner in a fast-paced environment where she is constantly on the go – especially with her business’ credit card processing. The credit union also continues to be invested in helping her business grow.

Learn more about her experience in banking with First Financial in the video below, and why Ameerah recommends our business banking to other business owners she knows.
