And when you finance your new vehicle with Western, you’ll save even more with low loan rates. Invest in America means supporting the workers and products that make our country strong. And how about this fact: Since the program started last fall, through January 31, 2009, one in every five new cars sold in Amer-ica has been financed at a credit union.

Too Much Month, Not Enough Money?
StretchPay can help
 Unexpected expenses can lead to living
paycheck-to-paycheck. When cash flow
is tight, payday may not arrive soon
enough to pay bills on time. Turn to
Western for the new, short-term loan
called StretchPay to help you make it
over the hump until the next payday.
Where commercial payday lenders
may charge fees equivalent to annual
percentage rates (APRs) of 400% and
more on their payday loans, StretchPay
charges a low rate of 18% APR, plus a
small annual fee to enroll in the
program.*
With StretchPay, you pay less
in finance charges, which leaves more
to spend on things that are important to
you. Once you pay off the loan,
you can use it again and there is
no hassle, no application, and
no additional fees.
*To qualify, you must be a Member of our credit union for at least 90 days, be able to show proof of income, have no delinquent accounts at the credit union, and not be in the process of filing for bankruptcy. Finance charges on a 30-day $250 StretchPay loan are $3.70. Loan fee for a commercial payday lender charging $15 per $100 borrowed is $150 for $500 borrowed over two 14-day terms.
