MOVE MONEY!
 
 
 
The recent decrease in interest rates is great timing, particularly if you’ve resolved to make your cash flow work more for you this year. So consider refinancing the auto loan you have from another financial institution. You can keep the car you love and lower the payment on your loan. You also can use the equity in your vehicle as a quick, easy way to borrow money at a low rate. Apply now!
 
LOWER YOUR CAR PAYMENT
 
 
 
Simplify your finances and take control of your holiday expenses and other debt by consolidating. Use the value you’ve built in your home to pay off credit card bills, medical expenses and more with a home equity loan. Turn multiple payments into one lower payment. Start your new year with less worry and manage your debt more efficiently with a home equity loan.
 
USE HOME EQUITY
