Finding a place to store your savings and livelihood can be challenging. In addition to simply finding an institution they trust, those looking for a bank or credit union must also consider added fees, interest rates, and other factors that may affect how their money is stored.
It can be hard to find a good fit, but Allegius Credit Union offers deals for both new and existing members to ensure the satisfaction of its clientele through any stage of life.
Existing members can help spread the love by referring coworkers or family members to Allegius through its New Member Referral Program. The program provides benefits to both the new and existing member, making it an ideal situation for all involved.
New members can open a savings account at no cost with no required direct deposit. New members will also get $250 added to their account simply for opening a Kasasa Cash Back Account.
The Kasasa Cash Back Account also provides 4% cash back, up to $25 in ATM withdrawal fee refunds, and has no minimum balance requirement.
Existing members can get $50 for referring someone, up to $150. Through this offer, new members can take advantage of Allegius’ benefits without feeling pressured to commit to something major.
“We're not asking for them to put a bunch of skin in the game. We're not requiring any direct deposit or anything like that to get the membership,” John Figueroa, member development and marketing manager, said.
Allegius is partnered with several financial education organizations and member rewards programs that provide insight and discounts to members year-round. Allegius’ partnership with Working Advantage provides members with hundreds of discounts on all kinds of activities and products from attractions to pet food.
Allegius also offers financing programs like the New Roads program to help drivers find a car that meets their needs while sticking to a price they can afford. Members are at the heart of every program at Allegius, and no matter the need, Allegius can find a way to meet members’ needs in the best way possible.
Another perk of becoming a member is the financial literacy programs offered to members through Banzai Financial Education and GreenPath Financial Wellness. Both programs offer educational articles and financial calculators catered to financial literacy for any stage in life. Whether the member is fresh out of high school or nearing retirement, Allegius has resources to help its members figure out the best direction for their financial future.
“No matter which milestone you're at in your life, there is an article or a wealth calculator to help you,” Figueroa said.
If the online resources aren’t enough to feel secure in your financial decisions, Allegius team members are more than willing to sit down and weigh your options. Allegius’ dedication to meaningful customer service is one of the main factors that sets the credit union apart from other financial institutions. In an industry where people often feel like they are just a number, Allegius works to make every member feel valued.
“A lot of internet banks and things like that are really popular nowadays. The convenience that they offer is great, but their downside is, if you want to do something in person or you're trying to talk to an actual human, there's a lot of red tape and hurdles to jump through to get someone there,” Figueroa said.
Whether you’re new to finances or a seasoned professional, Allegius Credit Union has everything you need to ensure your money works for you.
