“Tell me about
CAP COM’s Benefits”
CSEA’s Newest Member Benefit with CAP COM Federal Credit Union is
a money saving benefit that helps
put money back in your pocket!
Beth King, CSEA’s Director of Member Benefits, sits down with Kyle McKenna, Senior Relationship Manager at CAP COM, to discuss the benefits CAP COM offers for all our CSEA members and their families.
Beth: Kyle, what benefits does CAP COM offer to CSEA members?
Kyle: All CSEA members and their family members are eligible to take advantage of an exclusive fixed rate CSEA Visa Credit Card program powered by CAP COM. With a fixed rate as low as 8.90%APR1, no balance transfer fees and no annual fee, this
is truly a valuable benefit. Our newest endorsed benefit for CSEA members is Auto Loans. Many folks do not realize they can re-finance their auto loans
at no cost. With CSEA’s endorsement, members and their family members have access to refinance or take out a new auto loan with rates as low
as 1.74% APR2. Both products can help CSEA members save money, pay down debt and take control of their finances.
Beth: That sounds really great. How do CSEA members apply for these products?
Federally insured by NCUA
Kyle: CAP COM has an exclusive website and phone number for CSEA members. You can get started at www.capcomfcu.org/csea or call (844) 622-CSEA (2732) to apply or get more details.
Beth: What do you recommend for someone who is just getting started on paying down debt?
Kyle: There are so many ways to tackle debt. The best place to start
is by having a conversation with a financial expert. We offer multiple workshops focused on helping members get out of debt, budget for their future, increase credit score, and so much more. In addition, Locals and Unit leaders are free to host a Money Matters Webinar for their members. Reach out to CSEA’s Member Benefits Department at member.benefits@ cseainc.org for more details.
