Financial calculators available via NAFCU Services

Feb. 11, 2010 – NAFCU Services Corporation is offering NAFCU member credit unions financial calculators they can add to their Web sites to provide interactive education tools to their current and potential members.

Credit unions can choose from 30 embeddable financial calculators, all initially launched on CULookup.com, the credit union locator Web site created by NAFCU Services. They are free to NAFCU members and available to state-chartered credit unions for a modest fee.

“More and more consumers are switching to credit unions for better service, and providing financial calculators is just one more way credit unions can provide financial education to their members and highlight the distinctive solutions they offer in these areas,” said NAFCU Services President David Frankil.

The calculators cover five broad categories – home/mortgage, savings, credit, retirement and auto. They can help credit union members identify and work toward financial goals, such as determining how much home they can afford or how long it will take to pay off a credit card.

The calculators are available just in time for America Saves Week (Feb. 21-28), an annual opportunity for credit unions to encourage saving, debt reduction and wealth building. The calculators are another set of tools to capitalize on the goals of the week.
