Perspectives February 2013
Space Coast Credit Union enjoyed strong financial performance in 2012 thanks to our loyal members and dedicated staff.
Another exciting year has begun here at Space Coast Credit Union. 2012 was an outstanding year for us with record numbers of members using SCCU to buy a car or purchase a home. We have an outstanding team of employees who are ready to help you with all of your financial services needs.
As you begin tackling your resolutions for 2013, I hope you will remember one thing, and that is to “Call SCCU First.” We are a full-service financial services provider. If you need a new car, a new home, are travelling, or just need to get through the day-to-day issues of life, chances are we have a product or service that can help you. We are so confident that we can help, that we have issued a “Savings Challenge” to our members with a chance to win $2,500!1 No matter what you are trying to do, we believe we can save you money. Here are just some ideas:
- Refinance Your Mortgage: Many of you out there still have higher interest rates on your home loan. Refinance your mortgage with SCCU to a lower rate and you will save money over the life of your loan. During the refinance process, take advantage of our interest rate guarantee.2 If our rates drop when it’s time for you to close, we will pass the savings on to you. With no application fee and our rate guarantee, you have nothing to lose.
- Refinance Your Auto Loan: Many members do not understand that you can refinance your auto loan from another institution. If you refinance to a lower rate, this will save you money over the life of the loan. We offer a “90 days no payment” option3 so you can take a break from that monthly payment in the process. We do all the work AND pay the title transfer fees for you! Easy, quick application, simple closing, and no out of pocket costs.3 It doesn’t get any better than that!
- Get an SCCU Credit Card: SCCU's Visa® Platinum Credit Card offers a low introductory rate.4 Transfer your balance from another institution and start saving today. Our cards also offer the same rate for cash advances as purchases and are accessible in online banking. In Online Banking you can view balances and make payments from the comfort of your home or on your mobile device. You can apply by phone and you will have your new card in no time at all.
- Open an SCCU Checking Account: Our Value Checking account is free with just 5 transactions. If you complete 5 purchase or payment transactions each month, there is no monthly fee and no minimum balance requirement. We offer direct deposit, a free debit card on all of our checking accounts (many designs available), and, of course - Online Banking access with free Bill Payer. Convenient services such as free debit cards, Online Banking, and Mobile Banking enable you to manage your finances without visiting a branch. Later this year, we will be launching phase two of our SCCU Mobile App that includes the ability to deposit checks with your mobile device - now that is convenience!
At SCCU we are all about providing you the products and services you need, when you need them, while saving you time. We make it easy for you to apply for any of the products I mentioned. Simply call Express Sales and take the SCCU 2013 Savings Challenge. Our specialists are ready to help you with all of our services right over the phone. If you share just a few minutes of your time, I am confident we can save you money.
