Credit unions help members achieve financial stability

Credit unions help Americans access the tools they need to achieve financial stability through affordable loans, financial counseling, and more. For some, reliable transportation to a job is a key first step. 
 
In a new video testimonial sent to lawmakers Friday, Coastal Credit Union Chief Community and Public Affairs Officer Creighton Blackwell highlights the impact that an affordable auto loan can have on a member’s life and ability to achieve financial stability.  

The impact of the credit union difference adds up: 

  • $8,000+ saved on a typical auto loan; 
     
  • Up to $11,000 saved for deep subprime borrowers; and 
     
  • 90% of members report positive loan experiences.
