UFCU is a proud participant in America Saves Week, an annual national campaign that encourages individuals and families to check-in on their finances by highlighting several key areas that contribute to financial stability; such as saving automatically, preparing for unexpected expenses, retirement, and reducing debt. America Saves Week is February 21 – 25, 2022.

 

Each day of the week will have a special focus:

Monday, February 21, 2022	Save Automatically
Tuesday, February 22, 2022	Save for the Unexpected
Wednesday, February 23, 2022	Save to Retire
Thursday, February 24, 2022	Save by Reducing Debt
Friday, February 25, 2022	Save as a Family

 

UFCU’s efforts to help members build financial resiliency is not limited to one week, however. For example, now and through June 30, 2022, UFCU members, as well as non-members, have the opportunity to reduce and/or consolidate their debt by transferring their credit card balance from another financial institution (or multiple) to ours. Click here to learn more and to request a transfer or stop by one of our 13 branch locations.

 

 

UFCU members may also save to retire and take advantage of our limited time only retirement account special. Apply online or stop by one of our 13 branch locations.

 

 

“With so many Americans still feeling the financial distress from the pandemic, this national conversation is timely and needed. We look forward to supporting our community in gaining better savings habits and getting key strategies that enhance their financial wellness journey.” -Anonymous

 

At the very least we encourage everyone to TAKE THE PLEDGE on our website to fully benefit from the tools and resources available at no cost.
