Daniel Truesdale
I didn't want to keep renting all my life. I started saving money through the First Home Club IDA at Alternatives, and the required money management class, MoneyWise, tells you everything you need to know. If you're a first time homeowner, you can?t beat getting $7,000 free money for a nice house! All I had to do was the legwork.
Making Alternatives YOUR Credit Union
Our Work:
Building Rock Solid Futures
At a community meeting Alternatives was charged with being Ithaca’s best kept secret…accused of not letting the community know that we have unique products and services for EVERYONE.
So now, we're letting everyone know!
You might ask yourself, why choose Alternatives?
First...because we have services
you won't find anywhere else!
And that's only the beginning of your relationship with Alternatives. When
you borrow from us, you help us build financial stability and economic opportunity right here where we all live. Our rates are competitive, but if you find a better rate on a consumer
loan product, won't you let us know? We have some leeway, and we will try to
match competitors' rates by reducing ours, up to .75%.
The interest you pay on your loan from Alternatives helps support the good
work we do
in the community. It enables us to help your next door neighbor get
a Future Value Home Equity Loan, or your friend who's working hard to make life
better get an auto loan without a predatory rate. Your money enables us to offer
programs like our Free Tax Preparation. It enables us to offer Credit Builder Loans. Your money works hard right
where you live…in our community. Your money helps us change financial lives.
So next time you need to borrow, how about choosing Alternatives?
