WATERVILLE — New Dimensions Federal Credit Union members can get help navigating expected, as well as unexpected, financial challenges through a partnership with GreenPath Financial Wellness.
While members still can be counseled in the credit union’s branches, GreenPath also provides financial advice to members at a low cost or in some cases, for free.
NDFCU is one of only two credit unions in Maine to offer this resource to its members.
When a member is referred to a certified GreenPath expert, all calls are confidential; member names and the nature of the call are not shared with credit union employees at any time.
NDFCU members may discuss their financial challenges and the GreenPath counselor will listen objectively and will, in turn, provide customized solutions and strategies to help the member achieve financial goals.
Certified experts at GreenPath can assist with free debt counseling, which includes a step-by-step debt management plan that can put a stop to collection calls, lower interest rates and save money.
Additionally, counselors will review the member’s credit report and provide realistic goals on how to improve the score.
GreenPath’s Housing Services Department can provide the support to get back on track with missed mortgage payments or help determine if a home equity loan is right. They can also help navigate the home buying process with easy-to-understand financial resources.
GreenPath also offers student loan counseling.
GreenPath clients have access to the firm’s website, blogs, newsletters, financial education videos and webinars.
