FAA Credit Union has partnered with Accel Members Financial Management to offer members and their families unlimited access to free financial education and counseling services.
The program provides unbiased assistance with setting financial goals, budgeting, money management, and debt repayment.
Members can also get help in order to avoid situations such as bankruptcy, foreclosure and repossession.
The credit union decided it was time to take action after they noticed an increased demand for financial counseling from members. Credit Union President and CEO Steve Rasmussen said he want his credit union “to be the first resource for our members and part of this includes our obligation of providing the best information possible.”
“These counselors are trained to help people with financial issues in a non-biased way and we think that’s important,” he said.
“The added benefit of this service is that it isn’t just for members who are in trouble.”
Rasmussen said that members who want to be proactive and get a head start on their financial goals can also take advantage of the service.
“They can learn how to manage a budget and plan for the future,” he said.
“In today’s world, it’s never too early to think about the future of your financial situation and we believe the timing of this partnership is a significant benefit for the well being of our members.”
In addition to providing one-on-one financial counseling, Accel representatives can also serve as a liaison with creditors and negotiate to reduce payments, interest charges and fees as members work toward paying off their debts.
The free service is accessible through the credit union Web site or a toll-free number.
This is just one more way FAA Credit Union is serving the community. With headquarters in Oklahoma City and seven branches in the greater Oklahoma City area, FAA Credit Union has been serving members for more than sixty years.
Today, the credit union has more than 43,000 members and serves its members in the eight-county region of greater Oklahoma City.
This includes Grady, Lincoln, Canadian, Cleveland, Logan, McClain, Oklahoma and Pottawatomie counties.
FAA Credit Union has assets in excess of $400 million. Additional information about the credit union is available by visiting www.faaecu.org.
