CommonWealth One Federal Credit Union’s 70th Anniversary Community Challenge has surpassed its loan interest savings goal of $700,000. With one month remaining in the Community Challenge, community members have already saved more than $1 million in loan interest.
 
The Community Challenge kicked off in June when CommonWealth One set a goal to save community members a total of $700,000 in loan interest in honor of its 70th anniversary. When a person refinanced a loan to a lower rate, that savings was added to the total savings goal. CommonWealth One committed to donating $7,000 each to two local charities once the goal had been reached.
 
“We are very excited about surpassing our goal before the end of the challenge,” stated Charlotte Cash, President/CEO of CommonWealth One “Not only were we able to help people save on their loans, but we will also be able to donate $7,000 to Volunteer Alexandria and Skyline Literacy. This is a big accomplishment for our community.”

CommonWealth One’s staff used their special “Loan Saver” online tool to demonstrate how much they could save a borrower in interest on mortgage, auto, and personal loans and credit cards. For more information on the Loan Saver and the 70th Anniversary Community Challenge, visit www.COFCUSaves.org
