121 Community Outreach Team

 

Being involved in our community is important

to 121 Financial Credit Union - it is part of the
reason we chose the name that when said

properly sounds like "one-to-one." As a credit

union we support many local or local chapters

of national charitable organizations. 

Auto Loans: 0% APR vs. Cash Back

- Don't Get Fooled Again!

 

You often hear auto dealerships touting
0% Interest on their commercials, but is
0% always the best option? Not always!
There are times when you would be able
to save more by taking a cash-back offer
in lieu of the 0% offer, and financing the
balance with a low rate at the credit union.

Back-to-School Loans


 

 

 

It's only July, but already time to think
about shopping for back to school clothes and supplies. If you're in a pinch for funds, check out our Back-to-School Loan.

Presented by Randy Nakamura, CFP®, CRPC®

 

With CD yields so low these days, you might be

wondering about other options for your money

when your CD matures. Where should those

dollars go next?

Hurricane Preparedness

- Financially Speaking

 

While you may have prepared hurricane kits
with flashlights, food supplies, pet supplies,
medicine, etc., did you think about your finances?

121 Financial urges you not to forget about 

your financial  matters and make plans for those.
Read more for a few tips we have given our
employees and wanted to share with you,
our valued members.

Credit Union Loses Dedicated Volunteer

 

121 Financial recently lost a dedicated volunteer and friend when David Pugh, Vice Chairman of our Board of Directors, passed away June 10, 2012. 

 

A Board member for seven years, Mr. Pugh was well respected and greatly loved. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this time of sadness.
