MOBILE, Ala.– America Saves has named New Horizons Credit Union as one of only 12 recipients of its 2020 Designation of Savings Excellence award chosen from more than 200 banks and credit unions across the nation that participated in this year’s America Saves Week.
In its sixth year, the America Saves’ Designation of Savings Excellence is awarded to financial institutions that display exceptional achievement by motivating individuals to become more financially stable. New Horizons Credit Union is one such financial institution that went above and beyond with direct deposit, New Start Checking, GreenPath Financial Wellness, and Horizons Heroes Accounts, the credit union said.
“Their extraordinary efforts to encourage their members to save money and establish an automatic savings plan during America Saves Week deserves recognition, particularly as the COVID-19 pandemic reached a crisis stage just a few days after America Saves Week concluded,” said George Barany, director of America Saves. “We are proud to recognize these significant achievements.”
“We are thrilled to receive this designation,” comments Edith Franklin, president/CEO of New Horizons Credit Union. “New Horizons Credit Union believes in financial education and offering members and non-members alike free resources through our website at NewHCU.org.”
