Be Credit Card
Smart When You Head Off to College |
| |
|
|
During
your first few weeks at college, avoid credit card
solicitors on campus. The free T-shirt may look nice, but
you’re better off buying one in the book store … it will end
up costing you less. That’s because the “free” T-shirt comes
with a credit card bearing high interest rates and hefty
annual fees.
Credit cards can help you
build a good credit history, provide security in emergencies
and give you a sense of responsibility and independence.
Experts say it’s best to avoid credit card solicitors on
campus. Students who sign up on campus typically carry
higher unpaid balances than those who don’t.
A recent Bankrate.com
survey reports that credit unions offer the most
consumer-favorable terms among student-card issuers. So,
before you head off for college, stop by and apply for a
SELCCU VISA® Credit Card.
You won’t have the hassle
of opening new accounts when you start school either. With
our two surchargefree ATM networks, Shared Branching
locations, free online services and Touch-Tone Teller,
you’ll always have access to your accounts. To learn more,
stop in, call 440-324-3400/800-451-6315 or log on to www.

Hey
Kids! Want to Become a Millionaire? |
| |
|
|
Becoming a millionaire may
seem like a difficult goal to achieve, but if you save your
money, invest it well and follow these tips, you could be on
your way:
 | Start now. The sooner you
begin saving, the quicker you can make your dreams come
true. |
 | Get into the habit of
setting aside at least 10% of everything you earn.
|
 | Set aside some savings for
future goals, like a car, college expenses or even a home.
Keep some money available for short term needs, such as
shopping at the mall, computer games and music downloads.
|
 | Look for a high rate of
return. For instance, a Share Certificate or Money Market
Investment Account (MMIA) usually pays a higher interest
rate than a Share Savings Account. |
 | Look for compounding
interest, which means your earnings are reinvested. This is
the key to building your fortune. The really big changes in
your account balance(s) will occur in the later years, but
only if you start early. |
SELCCU offers the Captain
Cash Club for members who are infants to age 12 and Club FLY
for members ages 13-17. Let us help you with products such
as a Youth Add-On Share Certificate, Club FLY MMIA and more.

Make
SELCCU part of your travel plans with one of our VISA®
Credit Cards, a VISA Check Card or a VISA Travel Card. All
three are accepted at millions of locations worldwide …
wherever you see the VISA logo.
We offer the VISA Classic
Credit Card with a low rate of 11.50% APR** and 8.9% APR**
for our VISA Gold Credit Card. There are no annual fees or
minimum finance charges. Your VISA Check Card enables you to
make ATM withdrawals and point-of-sale transactions wherever
VISA is accepted. Funds are electronically withdrawn from
your Checking Account, so remember to update your check
register.
SELCCU also has a prepaid,
reloadable VISA Travel Card, a debit card which offers you a
convenient alternative to traveler’s cheques or cash. At the
time of purchase, you may load $100- $3,000 on the card. Use
it for point-of-sale or ATM transactions – just look for the
VISA logo. Unlike cash, the travel card can be replaced if
lost or stolen. You also may reload the card up to three
times with a minimum reload of $100. The fee for each VISA
Travel Card is $9.*
Before you take off on your
vacation, let us know. VISA notifies us of any activity out
of the ordinary. We will try to reach you to verify the
transaction, so make sure we have an updated cell phone
number and/or e-mail address.
**Annual Percentage Rate. See
a Financial Services Representative for terms and
conditions. * Ask your SELCCU representative for full
details on all fees. Issued by MetaBank, a federal savings
