From landing a first job to buying a car, opening a checking account, building credit, or simply getting finances back on track, life’s milestones often come with more questions than answers. That’s the inspiration behind Adulting Season, a new educational initiative from Media City Credit Union designed to help community members build financial confidence through practical tools, local guidance, and personalized support.
The campaign recognizes that “adulting” isn’t limited to a certain age. Whether someone is starting their career, changing jobs, growing a family, or taking steps toward new financial goals, everyone experiences moments that require important financial decisions.
“Adulting doesn’t come with instructions—but it doesn’t have to be overwhelming,” said Ana Ordoñez, CEO of Media City Credit Union. “Our goal is to make financial services feel approachable and personal. We want people to know they have a trusted local partner they can turn to whenever they’re facing a new milestone.”
Throughout the campaign, Media City Credit Union will share educational resources, financial tips, and tools focused on topics including:
- Opening a checking account
- Setting up direct deposit
- Building and strengthening credit
- Financing a vehicle
- Creating healthy savings habits
- Preparing for life’s unexpected expenses
As a not-for-profit financial cooperative, Media City Credit Union has served the Burbank community for decades by helping members reach their financial goals through competitive products, personalized service, and a commitment to putting people before profits.
Community members are encouraged to visit the Adulting Season webpage to explore financial resources, download the Adulting Checklist, and learn more about products and services designed to support every stage of life’s journey.

About Media City Credit Union
Media City Credit Union has served its members since 1936 when we were founded by employees of Helms Bakeries. A credit union is like a bank, only better. Media City offers checking, savings, credit cards and loans, yet profits are returned back to members in the form of reduced fees, higher savings rates and lower loan rates. Media City CU is a financial cooperative, giving back to its member-owners.
The credit union provides fee-free access at 75,000 ATMs worldwide and provides online account access. If you live, work, worship, or attend school anywhere in Burbank, or if you have a relative who is already a member, you can become a member too. As soon as you join, your family members also become eligible. Media City CU partnered with the ChangeWorks Foundation and by making a minimum $25 donation to this wonderful cause (Media City matches the $25 donation), you also become eligible for membership. New members enjoy immediate access to all services, including loans.
