Choosing Change

Summer is typically a time we associate with sunshine, beach chairs and worry-free fun. But while we may be enjoying the beach, we know that bills and budgets don’t take vacation. 42% of Canadians rank money as their greatest stress, which doesn’t stop just because the weather turns nice. In order to make the most of your time and reduce your stress levels, we want to help Nova Scotians make the right choice when it comes to their finances. Choices are not only about the new things you will do but also what you will change to make your financial goals a reality.

The challenge is making the right choice for the future, which is not always easy to do. In a recent poll, Canadians were found to overwhelmingly choose products, including mortgages and credit cards, based on where they are today, instead of where they hope to be in the future.

Choosing change is all about taking a look at your bigger financial picture and figuring out if what you’re doing is serving you long-term.    

If money is something you worry about, or if you aren’t sure you’re moving closer toward your goals, I encourage you to book an appointment with a member of our team.  You can call us about the products and services that you already have with us, as well as to discuss what other services may help you in your financial journey. Taking time to proactively address your financial health and plans will not only reduce the stress, it will provide the confidence that you are on the right track.

Do you know someone who could benefit from choosing to change to CUA? It’s not only simple to refer friends and family, it pays as well. For every successful referral, we’ll make a $25 deposit into your account, and new members will receive a waived account package fee for six months. Start referring.

To make the change even easier, we launched our one-click wonder, ClickSWITCH, this month. With ClickSWITCH, automatic payments and direct deposits can be moved to CUA in less than ten minutes, leaving more time for you to enjoy the things that matter most – like summer sun.
