ASSISTANCE FOR THOSE IN NEED

GM employees and families that may be affected by recently announced changes at GM - we understand your concerns and are available to help you.

Members are our first and foremost priority. We have no stockholders, so as a member, you are an owner of the credit union, and we treat you as such.

We are here to help you:
• Analyze your current financial situation.
• Lower your monthly loan payments.
• Consolidate and/or restructure your current debt.
• Provide access to free financial counseling, which can include helping members develop debt management plans and rework household budgets.

When times get tough, there is help available.
