Could you have cash in your crawlspace?

You’ve heard the mantra: put your money to work for you. Sounds good in theory, but what does it really mean? And how do I actually capitalize on the concept?

To us it means making the most of the assets you have. What’s your biggest asset? In most cases, it’s your home. Equity Line Plus lets you turn part of your home into cash to use wherever, whenever and for whatever you want. Use it for home improvements, college tuition, financing a business and more.

Are you ready for the April 30 changes to Social Security?

Are you one of the millions of Americans in their 60s who could lose out on Social Security benefits if they don’t file by April 30, or even April 29 in some cases? Attend our no-cost seminar and learn:

• How and when will you need to file to maximize retirement benefits?
• Should you file and suspend or file a restricted application (or another option)?
• How will your age, marital status, and other factors affect your benefits?

Make the most of your Social Security benefits before the April deadline! RSVP by phone or online to attend our no-cost seminar.

Ms. Otto Goes to Washington

Each year, usually in February or March, credit union leaders from across the nation descend onto Washington, D.C. to spread the good word about our favorite not-for-profit organizations. This event, the Credit Union National Association’s (CUNA) Governmental Affairs Conference, features thought-provoking speakers (this year that included Ted Koppel!), breakout sessions that tackle today's big issues (like compliance updates and EMV), and meetings with our legislators (everyone "hikes the hill" to visit the house and senate).

Make your money make more money

Have you heard about our high-yield CD? It’s a safe way to increase your return on savings. If you don’t need immediate access to your funds, not only will you have a safe place to store your money, you'll also earn more money back in interest than with a standard savings account. Open one at a branch, over the phone or through uOnline!

Let’s take the stress out of tax season
