Because when you’re stronger – we’re all stronger.
Ohio Strong is born out of what we do every day: help people improve their lives financially and support the communities we serve. It’s about showing up for the people who show up every day.It’s for the teachers shaping future leaders.
The healthcare workers caring for our neighbors.
The tradespeople, service workers, and small business teams keeping our communities running.
And the families doing their very best to get ahead.
Our Ohio Strong programs are designed to help working Ohioans keep more of their paycheck, afford reliable transportation and achieve the dream of home ownership – all while breaking cycles of debt and building long-term financial security.
When families are stronger, neighborhoods are stronger. And when our neighborhoods are stronger, Ohio is stronger.
When you join 7 17, you become part of something bigger than a bank. You become a member owner of a not for profit financial cooperative built to serve you.
Ohio Strong starts with membership and grows with you.
