Ask Us Anything!

Wellbeing and Your Wallet

Aug 14 2024 • 44 mins

Affinity Federal Credit Union presents the Wellbeing And Your Wallet podcast! In this episode, expert hosts Shawn Lubitz and Grant Gallagher address some of the members' most frequent questions.

In this “Ask Us Anything” episode, Grant and Shawn kick off the discussion by defining the difference between a bank and a credit union. They then provide an overview of Affinity's wide range of services, including its ownership structure and member-focused approach.

Some additional topics addressed included:

  • The difference between a debit vs. credit card
  • How to join a credit union and access an account remotely
  • Tips for building emergency funds and saving

Following the main discussion, Grant pulled a submitted question from the member mailbag, and the team shared their responses: I recently came into a small inheritance and want to use it wisely. Should I focus on paying off high-interest debt, investing in the stock market, or putting it toward my mortgage? How do I decide the best way to allocate these funds?

Finally, Grant concludes the discussion by highlighting Affinity’s award-winning SmartStart Savings account. Whether you’re saving for a down payment, dream vacation, or rainy day, Affinity is here to help you earn more toward your financial goals with this high-yield savings account.

Just a reminder if you have a question or comment for a future Member Mailbag segment, please send it to @affinityfcu on Facebook or X/Twitter with #MemberMailbag.
