Don't Withdraw Savings
Bowlint
(Continued from Page One)
lose by withdrawing your
savings.
There are other considerations
that make it seem wiser to get a
loan rather than use your
savings. For example, you
receive free life insurance in the
full amount of the loan. Also,
where you would make loan
payments on a regular basis,
you would be less certain to
replace your savings.
With assets of over $6 million,
the Credit Union is an all
employee activity whose
purpose is to provide a
convenient means of savings for
employees and to make low-cost
loans to its members when they
need to borrow money.
The current dividend rate is 7
percent per annum, com
pounded semi-annually. Interest
is charged on loans at the rate of
nine-tenths of one percent per
month on the unpaid balance.
This is an annual percentage
rate of 10.8 percent.
Since its organization in 1958,
the Credit Union has made over
125,000 loans totaling over $26
million. The Credit Union has
paid its members over $1V2 mil
lion in dividends on their
savings.
