Another new service we are working on. Call us in January and we'll tell you how we are doing.
Serving Our Youth!!
In 2010, our Zoogles Savings Club was offered to our younger members, ages 0-12. At the same time, we opened our Teen Club Savings account for youth ages 13-17. We will have coloring contests and other savings promotions for the young ones. Earn a ZooBuck for deposits of $5 or more when the child comes in. Collect enough ZooBucks and you can have a special prize. For our "older" youth, we'll have special gifts also. If the kids are not members, sign them up! We have special gifts for opening the accounts and we have created special new membership cards just for them.
Lower Auto Rates
We have reduced our rates for new or used cars for years 2012-2008 to only 3.99% APR when you have automatic payments and a 10% down payment. Autos for years 2007-2004 will receive a rate of 5.99% APR. For older cars and more details on terms, please call our office.

Mechanical Repair Coverage through ARC
If you have already bought a car and wish you had purchased a warranty repair service, give us a call. We are able to offer a Mechanical Repair Coverage policy through CUNA Mutual's Member Connect program. You tell them what coverage you want and can afford; they will create the policy for you. Normally, this coverage is much cheaper than your dealership--and coverage is recognized by repair shops. Call for more details.

If you have an auto loan with another financial institution, bring in your loan papers and title and we will see how we can save you some time and money! We may be able to reduce your payments and your interest rate. We can save you the time to stand in line or the cost of a postage stamp. If we give you this re-fi loan, we'll also give you a $50 gas card for your trouble. Give Sue or Fran a call.
