Student Loans

We work with ISL Education Lending to offer private loans to help you pay for college as well as refinance existing student loans. ISL Education Lending is a nonprofit organization with decades of student loan experience offering lower-priced loans.*

ISL Education Lending offers:

• Loans for college students.

• A loan option for parents and family members who wish to borrow on behalf of a college student.

• Multiple student loan refinance options.

In addition, they offer multiple scholarship opportunities and free college planning tools to help students and families avoid overborrowing and plan smart for life during and after college.

Learn more about ISL Education Lending’s offerings on their website.

Please note:

• All loans offered by ISL Education Lending are subject to credit approval.

• Before applying for a private loan, we encourage you to first complete the FAFSA, or Free Application for Federal Student Aid. You should also work with your college financial aid office to explore and exhaust all sources of student financial aid before seeking a private student loan.

*Service Credit Union is compensated by ISL Education Lending for the referral of student loan customers.

Estate planning

We’ve had the unfortunate task of helping families with finances after a loved one passes away.  One thing I have learned is the importance of Estate Planning. Now, we are not attorneys and are not giving legal advice—just passing along information that will make it helpful for your family to settle an estate.

—First, make sure all your bank accounts have beneficiaries listed.  We are sending forms out his month for members with single accounts and no POD listed to add a beneficiary.  This person only needs to come to our office with a death certificate and ID to claim the funds.

—Second, be sure to have all your financial information in one place.  Create a binder with a list of bank accounts, credit cards, utility accounts, life insurance policies, etc…Leave clear instructions how bills are paid (automatic withdrawal, bill pay, charged to credit card) and when they are due.

—Third, be sure that SOMEONE knows your phone passcode, Apple ID, financial account and email logins and passwords (or where to find them). 

—Fourth, have a file for all vehicle titles and other important documents in one place.

—Consult an attorney to prepare a Last Will and Testament, Power of Attorney for Health Care, and Durable Power of Attorney.  Ask about a Transfer on Death Deed for your home/properties or a Trust.

—Discuss your wishes with those closest to you.  Explain why you made decisions so there are no hurt feeling among family members.

—Pre-plan your funeral or communicate your wishes for burial/cremation and the service.

If the above list is completed you may be able to help your survivors avoid probate and settle your estate easily without great cost.
