Louise McCarren Herring and Annemarie Shinn, supporting Tri-State’s Underbanked Population

To celebrate Women's History Month, we're highlighting "The Mother of Credit Unions," Louise McCarren Herring. Louise had a vision to create a not-for-profit financial cooperative and

She organized over 500 credit unions in Ohio and became the founder and first managing director of the Ohio Credit Union League, among many other accomplishments. Her brilliant and caring early pioneer of credit unions paved the way for credit unions across the nation.

Understanding Credit Scores: No Luck Required

March is the month of four-leaf clovers and Leprechauns, but did you know it’s also the perfect time to learn about credit and credit scores? That’s because March is National Credit Education Month! What’s even better? You don’t need any luck to be a credit expert!
What is Credit?
Let’s start at the beginning. What IS credit? If we flip open the history books, we’ll find that the word “credit” first appeared in the 1520s. Individuals within the financial industry would use the word “credit” when referring to loan reliability and trustworthiness.

Little has changed with the way we refer to credit today. Credit is your ability to borrow something of value from a lender with the understanding that you will pay for it later.

Say a good friend, Joe, borrowed $100 from you. Two months go by, and Joe still hasn’t paid you back, but he calls you and asks for $50 more. You might hesitate...

2 Debt Repayment Strategies You Will Love

Does reading “debt repayment strategies” send a shiver down your spine? That wouldn’t be the only cause for a case of the chills. The temperatures are dropping, the wind is howling, and it takes me at least 10 extra minutes to leave my warm, cozy bed each morning. February is here, and with it comes thoughts of two things: snow and Valentine's Day. While piled under blankets with a warm cup of tea, I fondly recall two snow-themed debt repayment strategies: the snowball and avalanche method. Debt repayment isn’t as cold as you think, especially when the warm feelings of debt-free living aren’t far from reach. Let me prove it to you!
What is the Snowball Method?
When a situation is “snowballing,” it means it’s growing bigger and bigger. This debt-repayment strategy follows the same idea with the funds you allocate to debt repayment growing larger, NOT your debt.

The snowball method debt repayment strategy tackles debt balances from smallest to largest. First, you diminish your smallest...

3 Financial Resolutions To Kick Start 2024

It’s the new year! You know what that means: New Year resolutions. While hitting the gym and eating healthier are popular resolutions for a reason, financial resolutions are the real unsung heroes of 2024 prepping.
Financial resolutions are the gateway to achieving additional yearly goals. For example:

Creating a budget → ability to afford a gym membership
Raising your credit score → mortgage pre-approval on your dream home
Starting an emergency fund → less stress in the years to come

Unlock the full potential of 2024 by taking control of your finances. Here are three practical financial resolutions for the new year and ways to stick with them.
Create a Monthly Budget
Wow! Your federal credit union suggests that you track and save your money? Who would have thought?! Sarcasm aside, creating a monthly budget, or budget in general, is a huge step toward a financially successful year. In fact,

Help Seniors Recognize and Defend Against Scams and Elder Fraud

In 2022, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) reported a total loss of $3.1 billion to scams for adults over 60. Unfortunately, the holidays are the perfect opportunity for scammers to take advantage of seniors prone to charitable giving. Scammers will ask seniors for donations via email, text, phone, social media, or mail. They may even claim donations were made to the charity in the past.
How to Help Seniors Recognize and Defend Against Scams and Elder Fraud

In 2022, 88,262 people over 60 fell victim to elder fraud, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Of those victims, individuals lost an average of $35,101, and 5,456 lost more than $100k. These losses are an 84% increase from 2021.
