WATERLOO, Iowa — Veridian Credit Union has launched a financial empowerment program that it said combines education, personalized coaching and financial incentives to help members build savings, improve their credit and reduce debt.
The new Money Moves program provides participants with one-on-one guidance and tools to develop financial plans based on their individual circumstances and long-term goals, according to the $9.15-billion Veridian.
“Financial success should be within reach for everyone,” Ana Hernandez Eveland, Veridian’s financial empowerment strategist, said in a statement. “Money Moves is about meeting people where they are and giving them the guidance, resources and encouragement they need to move forward with confidence.”
Eveland said the program is designed to assist members whether they are focused on increasing savings, improving their credit or paying down debt.
Up to $250 in Incentives
Participants who successfully complete Money Moves may qualify for a $250 matching incentive. The money can be used toward a secured credit card, starter certificate of deposit or debt repayment, Veridian said.
The incentive is intended to help participants build on the financial progress they make through the program, the
Money Moves is offered at no cost, although advance registration is required.
