One-Stop Shop for Financial Success

As an eighteen-year member of HOPE, Sharon Holloway always looked to the Credit Union for advice and service to meet her financial needs. “I would always take advantage of HOPE’s Holiday Loans to buy gifts for my family,” says Holloway. She even came to HOPE when she purchased her first home years ago. “HOPE is always my first choice for managing my money.” It’s an approach that still works today. Holloway recently attended a membership drive and connected with one of HOPE’s Financial Inclusion Officers (FIO). HOPE FIOs work in the community to build partnerships with nonprofit organizations, businesses, churches and schools to identify solutions to the financial challenges being faced by key constituents. During her conversation with the FIO, Holloway inquired about the best way to refinance high-cost credit card debt and to acquire funds to make improvements to her home. After speaking with Holloway, HOPE’s FIO determined that a Home Equity Loan would be the best fit. She applied for the loan and HOPE approved her $89,000. “I know whenever I need financial support, I don’t have to look no further than HOPE.”
