About
Us
The
InBalance checking account management education program was developed by
BALANCE, a financial fitness program. A proactive, comprehensive,
financial education and counseling service, BALANCE partners with credit unions
nationwide to help reduce losses, develop stronger member relationships, and
support the industry-wide mission of education. A core value of BALANCE is to
stay abreast of trends and issues within the credit union industry and to use
our resources to provide services that meet emerging needs.
Mission Statement
To provide education services
that enable previously unbanked consumers to establish and maintain a positive
and lifelong relationship with their credit union
Partnerships
InBalance is a turnkey checking
account management education program used to provide a second chance to members
with past problems, and as a tool to bring the underserved and unbanked into
the financial mainstream. Users learn at their own pace and demonstrate their
understanding by completing a comprehensive test. You are notified with the
names of program graduates - people now fully prepared for the responsibility
of a checking account. Printed versions of the course material are available
for members without internet access, or for group education programs.
InBalance provides the tools your
members need to be successful - and can provide your credit union increased
membership and business opportunities. Whether to lend a helping hand to the
underserved in your community, support your mission of education, increase your
membership, develop and maintain more positive relationships with SEGs, or
differentiate your credit union socially and politically from banks, providing
education and a second chance to individuals and families who will otherwise
fall prey to the vicious cycle of check cashing establishments and other
similarly predatory financial organizations is simply the right thing to do.
