About Us

by Marlene Voss

Frontier Finance Hub is written for people who live a long way from a bank branch, or whose nearest one closed years ago. We take on the everyday money questions mainstream finance sites skip: banking when the closest teller is an hour’s drive, managing cash-heavy work and uneven pay, what to do when your credit union merges or vanishes, and how to use online banking on an unreliable connection.

A lot of financial advice assumes you live in a city, can pick between three grocery chains, and can stop by a branch at lunch. That does not describe much of small-town and rural America, and it is not who we write for. We want to give practical, usable information to the people that conversation has left out.

Our guides are general information, not personalized advice on money, law or taxes. We do not know your circumstances, your local banks or your state’s rules, so before a big financial decision, speak with a professional or an institution that does.
