UW Credit Union has partnered with BALANCE, a financial fitness program, to provide you with free, confidential financial counseling services. Not only can BALANCE provide information and assistance to help you achieve your goals—such as buying a home or saving for the future, they can help you resolve financial distress.

Call a BALANCE financial counselor today to:

• Ask financial questions. Get answers about your personal finance and credit-related questions.
• Develop a solid financial plan. BALANCE will work with you to help you develop a plan for your finances. Whether it’s creating a manageable spending plan to get out of debt or finding ways to save more for you or your child’s future, BALANCE can help.
• Review your credit report. BALANCE counselors can order your credit report and will review it with you (small fee for purchase of the credit report will be assessed). This can help you understand your credit score, correct inaccuracies on your report, learn about identity theft and more.
• Receive housing education. Learn more about the steps to take to buy your first home. Or, if you’re in danger for foreclosure, learn about how you can avoid it.
• Manage your debt. Work with BALANCE to take advantage of a Debt Management Plan. This will allow you to consolidate your credit card payments, lower your payment amounts and reduce or eliminate interest and fees to get out of debt.

Free Financial Education Resources

In addition to over-the-phone, confidential counseling, BALANCE offers many free educational resources on their website, balancepro.net. A free monthly email newsletter is among the many useful resources offered. Also, take advantage of free podcasts, articles, calculators and more to learn more about financial topics.
