Perspectives

A Message from Timothy M. Antonition,
Executive Vice President, Retail Operations

Timothy M. Antonition, Executive Vice President, Retail Operations

As I write this column, we continue to be bombarded with news of the economy. There is very little, if any, good news and the turmoil in the banking industry is especially troubling as we see institutions fail, merge or withdraw from doing business. I feel that consumers deserve to be treated better than they have been during these trying times.

Despite what you hear about the credit crunch and institutions not lending money, we are continuing to lend at SCCU. We are continuing to lend because we have managed this credit union for our members in a conservative manner, ensuring that we have the net worth to weather downturns such as the current economic storm.

One payment that almost every household has is an auto or truck loan. This is an area where your SCCU membership can really help you save money. We offer a full line of auto and truck loans with the rates and terms you need for an affordable payment.

We do thousands of auto loans for our members every month. New, used, trade up or trade down, buying from a dealer or buying from an individual, we can help. We can help you determine the value of your trade, determine the invoice of your new car, and help you select the loan that is right for you. We will walk you through the car-buying process. We don’t want our members to pay too much for their car, receive too little for their trade or get an auto loan that charges too much interest. You deserve better.
