  Be Credit Card Smart When You Head Off to College
   

SELCCU VisaDuring 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. selccu.org

 

 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:
 
bulletStart now. The sooner you begin saving, the quicker you can make your dreams come true.
bulletGet into the habit of setting aside at least 10% of everything you earn.
bulletSet 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.
bulletLook 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.
bulletLook 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. Find out more by logging on to www.selccu.org.

 
  Going Somewhere? Take Us with You
   

Travel PlansMake 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 association, pursuant to a license from VISA U.S.A., Incorporated.
