Trusting A Financial Partner

Shuntell Northington was her uncle’s caretaker for a decade before he succumbed to congestive heart failure. When an insurance policy was not enough to cover funeral costs, Shuntell returned to the financial partner she was introduced to months earlier when HOPE representatives visited her job to share information about products and services. After becoming a HOPE member, Shuntell took out a Borrow and Save Loan to build her credit. Then, as her family grieved the loss of a loved one, Shuntell went back to HOPE for a loan to pay for her uncle’s final arrangements. The application process was seamless, and she took the check to the funeral home the same day she received it. “HOPE really took a burden off me and my family,” she says.
