Being a member-owner of Peak Credit Union means more than having access to cutting edge banking products and services. You’ll get unparallelled customer service every step of the way – our team is committed to providing guidance and support for you.

Check out this case study to see how we go the extra mile to help our members achieve financial well-being.

The Situation: A Simple Question Leads to More

Recently, a member reached out to Peak Credit Union with a question regarding a credit card balance transfer offer. They were looking for a way to better manage existing debt and reduce their monthly payments.

As Virtual Delivery Center Specialist Christopher began reviewing the details, he discovered the member’s debt was tied to a personal loan, making it ineligible for a credit card balance transfer.

Rather than ending the conversation there, Christopher took a deeper look at the member’s full financial picture.

The Approach: Be Solution-driven

Christopher’s approach was simple: Don’t just answer a question — find an optimal solution.

By reviewing the member’s accounts and external obligations, Christopher found opportunities to reduce the member’s financial strain and improve their cash flow. His thorough review led to a solution focused on consolidation and refinancing.

The Solution: Tackling it from All Angles

Christopher took a multi-step approach that delivered immediate and meaningful results for the member:

  • Personal Loan Consolidation
    He structured a new personal loan consolidation, resulting in $617 in monthly savings. We refinanced the personal loan with a longer loan term, which created smaller, more manageable payments.

  • Auto Loan Refinancing
    During the review, Christopher identified two auto loans held at other financial institutions. Both were refinanced with Peak Credit Union, leading to savings of:

    • Auto Loan #1: $310 monthly savings

    • Auto Loan #2: $396 monthly savings

By adjusting the terms and extending the length of the loan, we were able to lower the monthly payment.  

Total Monthly Savings: $1,323
