Tis the Season to Save for the 2011 Holidays with CommonWealth One Federal Credit Union Holiday Club

Jan. 18, 2011 - PRLog -- CommonWealth One Federal Credit Union encourages thrift and savings for all its members, as part of its dedication as a credit union to its members with a better way of life as their trusted financial resource.  Each January, CommonWealth One opens up the Holiday Club Account for new bank deposits and fund transfers from members.  The principle of the Holiday Club is simple, encourage members to save money now for the upcoming 2011 holiday season for travel, gifts and entertainment.

Instead of relying on credit cards to pay for bills to pay for the next holiday, with this account, members are prepared and have cash in hand.  Each month, money is deposited into the Holiday Club account and accrues interest monthly at a great rate.  Then in November, those funds are transferred out of the Holiday Club account and placed into the member’s CommonWealth One checking account.  

CommonWealth One holds true to the core credit union philosophy of "people helping people" - providing members with loans, savings plans, and special services to achieve their long-term financial goals and help them enjoy a better way of life as a lifetime member.  Excess earnings are returned to members in the form of higher dividend rates, lower interest rates on loans and low or no fees.  CommonWealth One also places critical importance on helping their members achieve financial independence and improve their standard of living through its products, services, commitment to financial education and community involvement.  By promoting financial education and literacy to its members, CommonWealth One ensures that its members can make strong financial choices throughout their life.
