Planning for the Future

September is a time when many Nova Scotians fall back into their routines, and with classes back in session this week, students in particular are focused on getting organized for the upcoming school year. At CUA, we know that a big part of back-to-school involves financial preparedness, which is why our team is happy to provide financial advice and resources for student life.

Going to college or university is both an investment in your future and a lesson in personal finance. Tuition, books and everyday necessities can add up. To help ease the financial stress of getting back to class, CUA is contributing $10,000 to ten lucky students’ futures. Our $10K in a Day giveaway contest wraps up at the end of September 8th, so please make sure to submit your ballots for a chance to win. Students can also keep an eye out for our Better Way Street Team who will be visiting campuses today to distribute great prizes, including $500 cheques.

When it comes to putting funds away for the future, our team understands how important it is to have a plan in place. Whether your goals involve saving for your own or your child’s education, a dream vacation, a down payment, or being prepared for an emergency, CUA will help you get started by asking one simple question – how much can you save? Our featured products offer different ways to save for your financial goals. For everyday savings, you can open a mySavings account online, or for long-term savings goals, open a myTFSA account by connecting with a member of our team.

As you start considering ways to finance education this fall, remember to check out our resources on student and youth banking.

To all of our members, we want to ensure we are adapting to meet your needs through strengthening our organization. As a customer-owner, your input into CUA has a meaningful impact on our priorities and operations. That’s why each year, we ask for your feedback in our Annual Member Survey. The 2022 Survey is available between September 21 - October 12 by visiting cua.com/survey. The responses we receive help shape the products and services we offer and guide our efforts to provide relevant and meaningful experiences to our customers. To thank you for your participation, members who complete the Survey will be entered into a draw for a $1,000 cash prize.

As always, we’re here to help. If you have questions about the Survey or would like to speak to a member of the CUA team about your financial needs, we want to hear from you. Call 902.492.6500 or email anytime to info@cua.com.

Your CEO,
