happy family sitting down

 

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.
