SILICON VALLEY, Calif.--Meriwest Credit Union said it has opened its field of membership to members of the Financial Fitness Association (FFA), saying one goal is to raise awareness and promote financial control among the new members.
Meriwest said applicants in Arizona and California seeking to join Meriwest outside of the designated service area now qualify for membership if they are an existing member of FFA or join FFA.
“In support of the agreement, Meriwest CU will pay the initial membership fee for new FFA members,” the credit union said.
The Financial Fitness Association is a nonprofit organization founded in 2004 that partners with organizations to promote financial fitness and guide consumers through financial hurdles.
Common Financial Concerns
According to the $2.2-billion Meriwest Credit Union, the FFA helps consumers address many common financial concerns including:
- Understanding and improving their credit scores
- Guarding against identity theft
- Making the transition from college to career
- Managing credit cards efficiently
- Benefitting from new financial products and services
- Managing finances easily and effectively
- Planning for a prosperous future
‘Outside Our Footprint’
“We are so excited to be partnering with FFA because it will allow us to help those outside our footprint and give our community another resource and set of tools to help them manage, protect, and conserve their money at every stage of their life,” said Meriwest Credit Union VP of Marketing Teresa Caseras.
