Free Financial Education Workshops
United Labor Credit Union is dedicated to offering ways for our members to borrow on favorable terms. Helping our members learn about managing their finances responsibly means they will save money in the long run by making sound financial decisions. Ultimately, they will borrow at lower rates, which is often a reward for better credit.
The more our members know about their finances, the more likely they are to increase savings, become homeowners, and improve their financial health and well-being.
