90 Day Interest Free VISA!
Tired of the credit card merry go round? Many credit cardholders are angry, according to a new national poll by Consumer Reports, and they are taking action. More than 32 percent have paid off and closed a credit card account since January 2008, and half of those did so in direct response to the actions of credit card issuers such as cutting limits, hiking rates, or imposing fees. Your work place credit union would like to invite you to open a Visa credit card with us. We have a low fixed rate as low as 8.9% with no annual fee. We are offering a 90 day interest fee Visa credit card for a limited time. Stop by or call us for an application. We can get your new Visa card out to you within 5 to 7 business days. We can do transfers to pay off your other high interest credit card or lines of credit. Visa credit application must be received before 1/31/09.

The New Year is a time for hats
and horns—and resolutions
Your credit union offers low-fee options for all
your financial needs. One study pegs the member
benefit at about $240 a year per
household, or $10.9 billion* a year
for all members.
Keep more of your money in
the New Year. Talk to us about
switching all your accounts to
the credit union, where you’ll
pay lower fees and lower interest
rates to borrow, and earn more
on savings.
That calls for hats and horns!
