Military Saves Week to run Feb. 23-28, 2015
SAN ANTONIO, TX (February 23, 2015) – Security Service Federal Credit Union is helping those who serve our country by educating them on ways to save for the future. In conjunction with the Department of Defense and its financial readiness campaign, Security Service helped kick off Military Saves Week - a time focused on promoting good savings behavior.
“Security Service Federal Credit Union is on a mission to help military members and their families save for the future and realize financial freedom,” said Mike Martinez, senior vice president of legislative and military affairs for Security Service. “Military Saves Week is the perfect chance to help them take hold of their finances early for a lifetime of success.”
Military Saves Week promotes the importance of setting financial goals and encourages financial readiness to reduce debt and save for the future. While this week is dedicated to raising awareness on the issue, Military members can visit any Security Service Federal Credit Union branch in Texas, Colorado and Utah through the end of March for more information and assistance with the Military Saves program.
“Countless numbers of families have been helped over the years with this program,” said Martinez. “Military Saves Week is one of the best opportunities to set our service men and women up for a bright future.”
