Credit Union helps support financial wellness
January 31, 2013
Utilities Employees Credit Union (UECU) of Wyomissing, PA has recently seen its financial services intersect with the needs of workers in Americas utility and energy industry. During a period of extended economic challenges for many U.S. families, many workers are showing signs of financial distress that follow them while theyre on the job. UECU offers a free voluntary benefit for utility companies to extend to employees and their families in order to promote financial wellness, reduce company health care costs, and enhance worker productivity.
"While this is a service weve always offered our sponsor companies, its in these recent years that weve seen a real need among employees. Now the utility companies in our field of membership recognize the value of financial services as an employee benefit much like the value of health insurance," says Jane Kennedy, Business Development Manager for UECU. �The Credit Union also offers a free credit counseling program among their other many financial resources.
