Credit unions have a personal stake in helping members build a strong financial foundation, as financially healthy members typically become more engaged members. This leads to increased revenues as members use more financial products such as loans and investments on their path towards financial empowerment. (Click on for the ABCLL newsletter: https:\/\/bit.ly\/3LZooz0)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs you recommit to your financial goals, we urge you to consider joining a credit union, if you have not done so already. Credit unions operate to promote the wellbeing of our members and we can become that lifeline to help you streamline your budget when emergencies arise or when there is that temptation to overspend. All profits made by credit unions are returned to our members in the form of reduced fees, higher savings rates, and lower loan rates, so this is a win-win proposition,\u201d said Dorothea Blackman Brown.
