The weather is getting warmer and summer events are starting to show up on our calendars. Your Credit Union family wishes you a summer full of fun and new adventures. At the same time, we wish you all safety and security as you plan and take part in your chosen activities.

Your first activity is to determine what equipment you will need to participate in your chosen activities. Is it time to update your vehicle or are you ready for the perfect boat, dune buggy, motorcycle and/or motor home? If the answer to this question is yes in any way, the Credit Union has the perfect loan promotion just in time for the big summer rush. We have chosen to keep our loan rates as some of the lowest in the market even as other institutions have increased rates in recent months and now in addition to keeping our rates low, we will be offering an even better opportunity for you to buy your perfect toys at even better rates. For the months of June and July we will be running our summer promotion on RV’s, boats, trailers, motorcycles, ATV’s and UTV’s. We will be reducing the rates on new items by .75% and rates for used items by .35%. Our loan process is easy, and you can apply online or in person and in most cases have your loan, if approved, the same day. We are doing our part to make this your best summer ever.

Make sure your credit cards are current for your entire trip, don’t leave home with an expired card. If your card needs to be replaced, contact the Credit Union a month before you leave to be sure there is more than enough time to receive your new card. Contact the Credit Union to have travel notes added to your account so you will avoid any interruption of card approval due to unusual circumstances.

Now, while we are having fun this summer, it is important that we keep an eye on our safety and our security as well so let’s review a few reminders to keep everyone secure. When you are visiting your vacation destinations, be sure to store all important documents in a hotel safe or secure place. If you must have some documents with you, be sure to carry them in a secure place, out of sight to others. Keep relevant contact details and numbers handy in case any losses or thefts occur, and notifications are necessary. If loss or theft happens, remember to report the occurrence immediately, do not wait until you return from your trip. It is often true that cards are used for fraudulent activities immediately upon being stolen or found. Take a few different cards with you and do not carry them all at the same time. If you leave some ID and credit cards in a safe place back at the hotel, you will be able to continue your trip even if a loss or theft should occur. Be sure to let family and/or friends know where you will be going and keep a fully charged phone with you so remember to bring a phone charger.

Your Credit Union wants you to have a wonderful summer with new experiences, family fun and new toys to play with. Stop by soon to get a loan you can afford and one of the very best Visa card fixed rates available.
