SAN FRANCISCO (1/3/2013)—San Francisco Federal Credit Union, a not-for-profit, member-owned financial institution serving the San Francisco community, has kicked off its new Financial Fitness Challenge, which features a $5,000 award for one member.
San Francisco FCU is sponsoring the Challenge to help credit union members improve their financial well-being. To participate, members must submit an application stating a financial goal they would like to pursue. Participants will then complete financial tasks throughout 2013 to work toward achieving their goals and competing for the grand prize.
“The Financial Fitness Challenge goes hand in hand with our philosophy of providing ‘Uncommonly Good Banking’ to members,” said Steven Stapp, president and CEO of San Francisco FCU. “We’re dedicated to helping our members develop healthy financial habits, and the Challenge is a unique and engaging way to continue doing that.”
Tasks for members to complete include meeting with financial advisors, attending workshops hosted by the credit union and conducting over-the-phone budgeting and credit review sessions. The credit union’s Financial Fitness Challenge Committee will evaluate all participants and select a winner based on goal progress, task completion and membership standing.
“Membership at San Francisco FCU is open to anyone who lives, works, studies or worships in San Francisco,” said Stapp. “If you have ties to the San Francisco community and aren’t already a member, now is a great time to become one. You’ll enjoy great credit union benefits, receive comprehensive support in reaching your financial goals—and maybe even win $5,000 in the process.”
Members can submit their applications to participate in the Challenge from Jan. 2, 2013, through Feb. 28, 2013. San Francisco FCU will announce the $5,000 award winner on Dec. 18, 2013. For more information, visit SanFranciscoFCU.com.
