A not-for-profit credit union is seeking to help consumers gain greater control of their finances during these turbulent economic times. Dannemora Federal Credit Union is a member-owned credit union, serving those who live, work, attend school or worship in Clinton, Essex, Franklin and St. Lawrence counties in Upstate New York.
The credit union recently announced a program to help consumers transfer high-interest rate credit card balances from other lenders to a six-month 0% APR* introductory-rate card. After the introductory period, rates are as low as 7.50% APR**. Additional features include no annual or balance transfer fees, along with cardholders also enjoying the same low-interest rate for purchases as on balance transfers.
The introductory rate card is being offered directly by Dannemora Federal Credit Union and is valid for qualified applicants who apply before March 31, 2021. Those interested are encouraged to learn more and apply.
The process of approval for this low-rate credit card is straightforward. Applicants provide the credit union with a copy of a statement from the credit card they wish to pay off, along with pertinent account information. Copies of the statements are to be delivered, faxed or mailed to Dannemora Federal Credit Union.
Advertising for the balance transfer program encourages prospective cardholders to “start living life to the fullest,” by lowering overall credit card payments. The intent of the program is to help people better manage their finances by transferring high-interest card balances with other lenders, to a low-rate card from Dannemora, which includes the 0% APR* introductory-rate.
Chris Hay, President/CEO of the credit union said the following: “These are difficult times for so many people and so we wanted to find a way to help lower overall credit card monthly payments for those who need it most. Doing so can help give people greater financial freedom and ultimately, it can help them get closer to paying off their debt in a timelier fashion. Anything we can do like this that helps people increase their happiness through financial wellness is right in line with our mission as a credit union.”
Dannemora Federal Credit Union was also named the 2020 Reader’s Choice by the Press-Republican, a prominent newspaper in Plattsburgh, NY. This is a distinction that has been bestowed on the credit union for 5 years running and is voted on by the public. The credit union attributes its popularity and success to the fact that it provides secure and convenient access to financial accounts, quality and personalized service, as well as it providing these types of programs that benefit consumers on a budget.
