Letter Regarding Home Warranty

Letter Regarding Home Warranty

May 27, 2021
It has come to our attention that a few of our members received a letter like the one copied below. Although Archer Credit Union is listed on the letter, it was not sent on behalf of Archer Credit Union. We are not and have not ever been affiliated with any home warranty companies. Unfortunately, we've seen this type of thing before. Companies like U.S. Home Guard mine for personal information on public databases. They then send mailings like the one below to try and sell their product. Regarding U.S. Home Guard specifically, we did not give them authorization to use our name or to contact...Read More

Earning & Learning -Teens and Money

May 3, 2021
Summertime is approaching, and this means summer jobs and extra money for many teens. This also provides parents with opportunities to teach some much-needed money skills. How badly are these skills needed? Consider this: In a recent study, 92% of undergraduates used credit cards for education expenses such as tuition and textbooks.
