Member of the Month

Hilliard-headquartered Credit Union of Ohio is a member-owned financial institution dedicated to empowering individuals by providing competitive rates, personalized service, financial education, and a strong commitment to the financial success of each member.

Community and fun are at the heart of Credit Union of Ohio’s values, because why shouldn’t financial matters be fun? This is why you will see Credit Union of Ohio sponsoring some of Hilliard’s most lively events that bring the community together, including Celebration at the Station, Freedom Fest, and Hilliard’s Taste of the Town.

At Credit Union of Ohio, relationships matter the most. The credit union is a big supporter of Hilliard Chamber events and businesses, and the local schools where it provides three scholarships (one to each Hilliard High School) annually. It is also a drop off location for the Columbus Diaper Coalition, among other various community outreach activities.

Another distinction that sets Credit Union of Ohio apart is its strong commitment to financial education. From budgeting tips to workshops on homeownership and building better credit, the credit union actively fosters financial literacy within Hilliard and beyond.

Most of all, Credit Union of Ohio prides itself on offering competitive rates and useful financial products and services. Whether you're looking for a low-interest auto loan, a mortgage with favorable terms, or simply a safe place to grow your savings, it has got you covered.

Credit Union of Ohio is more than a financial institution–it aims to be a partner in your financial journey and success. By banking locally with Credit Union of Ohio, you too will be supporting your Hilliard community and keeping your money local. Become a part of the difference and join in the fun by visiting cuofohio.org.

Starting a business of any kind is a massive achievement. Doing so while also establishing your brand, creating a high level of character and building a connection to the community, well, that deserves an award!

The BBB of Central Ohio’s annual awards ceremony was held last week- among the accolades is one called The Spark Award-  recognizing owners 35 and under, or those whose business has been operating less than three years.  One winner was Abundant You Chiropractic & Wellness.

Pitabilities wraps up brick-and-mortar spot in Hilliard

Popular food-truck ompany Pitabilities now has a permanent location in the Center Street Market in Old Hilliard.

"We grill the food right in front of you," he said. "You can add in any fresh toppings and build it the way you want. We have a base of a couple different proteins you can get, and from there, you can build it however you like."

The restaurant opened in the Hilliard market, 5354 Center St., more than a month ago. Read the full article.
