MC Federal Celebrates Six New The Road to Financial Wellness Graduates.

Educate, Enlighten, and Celebrate: three words that have become the pillars of The Road to Financial Wellness program presented by MC Federal Credit Union. The Road to Financial Wellness seeks to break down the barriers people face with their finances. The main goal is to remove the stigmas people face due to past choices, language barriers, or poverty, and build their knowledge and self-esteem as they take control of their finances.

In the 6-week program, participants are educated in areas such as accounts and fees, budgeting, rates, fraud, and credit and debit products. The class is focused on teaching basic economic empowerment skills and financial knowledge to serve as a road map to financial well-being. Leading the instruction is a dedicated team of MC FCU employees who volunteer their time to bring financial knowledge to others.

MC Federal Credit Union is proud to present the newest graduates of our financial literacy course, The Road to Financial Wellness. This class was hosted in partnership with Getting Ahead Foundation. We are excited to see this group of six individuals from the Sunbury area continue to grow on their journey of increased financial well-being.

Bonnie, a graduating participant, commented, “MC Federal Credit Union is an incredible organization that offers resources to individuals to reach their potential.” Another graduating participant added, “I was thankful for this opportunity. I’ve always lived off a budget and have been trying to improve my credit over the years. This program has answered some of my questions and gave me a better understanding about finances.”

MC FCU is grateful to be a part of your financial wellness journey. Congratulations to the newest graduates of The Road to Financial Wellness!

MC Federal Financial Wellness Program Earns National Award

MC Federal Credit Union is proud to announce that we have been awarded the 2022 National CUNA Desjardins Adult Financial Education Award. The award recognizes leadership within the credit union movement on behalf of financial literacy for members and nonmembers of all ages. The award, named after credit union pioneer Alphonse Desjardins, emphasizes the movement’s longtime commitment to financial education.
 
This award was earned by Elba Arenas, President & Chief Member Experience Officer and her Financial Wellness Team who use their financial expertise and life experience to delivery our program, The Road to Financial Wellness. Our approach to financial literacy delivers targeted solutions for each community we serve. The program prioritizes topics that build accountability, independence, and confidence in the class attendees. The topics focus on real-world applications of financial skills that provide a solid financial foundation for the future. There are six classes, each of which covers a different topic. These topics include understanding accounts and fees, an intro to lending, budgeting, credit cards vs. debit cards, understanding your credit report and credit score, and identity theft and fraud. The classes are customized to meet the needs of each individual in order to provide the best financial wellbeing information for all of the participant. Our newly expanded course has been taught in partnership with local schools, The Getting Ahead Foundation, Union County Probation, and The Northumberland County Jail. We seek to overcome the barriers set forth by factors such as race, age, and gender and make free financial education available to every member of our community.
