Save to WinQuarterly Prize-Winner

Saginaw, MI, August 2017 —Kay R. is the latest United Financial Credit Union members awarded for their participation the prize-linked savings program, Save to Win. For every $25 deposited into their accounts, members earn one entry into the monthly and quarterly drawings for a chance to win $25-$5,000.

Kay has been a member at United Financial for over 37 years. She has been participating in Save To Win, since United Financial originally launched it in 2010. This was the first time that she was a quarterly winner.

She was ecstatic when we called her to let her know she won. “You’re kidding? I have won $50 a few times, but never $1,000!!” Kay loves the Save to Win Program, she likes having the chance of winning cash prizes each month, along with the larger quarterly prizes. “These winnings will be used for my grandchildrens’ tuitions and I plan on donation to three charities with what is left over.” Kay stated.

“We have supported the concept of our “Save to Win” program since 2008, when the product was developed. We stand behind the idea of helping our members improve their financial lives and ultimately creating better saving habits.” Stated Barbara Appold, United Financial Credit Union’s CEO, when asked about the Save to Win program.

To date, the program has awarded more than $2 million dollars in cash prizes and has helped credit union members save nearly $140 million nationwide. To learn more about Save to Win visit
