BALANCE, A Benefit of Credit Union Membership
Filed under: General, Personal Finance, Young Adults, Adults, Retirees
Your Credit Union is dedicated to helping you realize your financial goals - reducing your debt, saving for higher education, buying your first home, or planning for retirement. Which is why we are excited to announce your newest benefit of membership: BALANCE Financial Fitness Program.
Through BALANCE, you have access to free, unbiased money management information and assistance. All you have to do is make a toll-free phone call.
BALANCE counselors can answer many of your questions immediately - from how long an item stays on your credit report to whether it's better to lease or buy a car. For more complex issues, such as debt elimination or budget development, an appointment will be scheduled - giving you the personal attention you need to meet your objectives.
If bills have gotten out of hand, your counselor may be able to arrange a Debt Management Plan. BALANCE negotiates with creditors to reduce interest and fees so you can pay your debt quickly and efficiently. As a member of DECU, the program's monthly administration fee of $35 is waived.
To use the new program, simply call 888-456-2227. Counselors are available Monday through Thursday, 7am to 10pm, Friday, 7am to 7pm, and Saturday, 10am to 7pm or visit www.balancepro.net for more information.
We recognize that money concerns have a serious effect on our quality of life. Now, through our newest partnership, you have access to the very best professional guidance - so you can achieve financial security faster than you ever thought possible.
