Day Early!1
Community Advisory Board
The Community Advisory Board met with Eastman
Credit Union staff to discuss ways ECU can continue
improving opportunities to meet the needs of the
community and increase awareness of ECU
membership benefits.
Turn Your Home’s Equity
Into Cash
Expenses have a way of creeping up on us. Whether it
is a medical procedure, major home repair or a daughter’s
wedding day, finding the money to pay for any major expense
can be a bit overwhelming. Fortunately, for homeowners, the equity
you’ve accumulated in your home can be turned into cash.
Eastman Credit Union offers home equity line of credit options with flexible, versatile and
affordable ways to access the equity in your home. Use the ECU Equity Express® debit card
like you would any other Visa® debit card to access your line of credit and make purchases
or get cash advances.
With rates as low as 5.875% APR*,
now is a great time to turn your home’s equity into cash!

“I have been a member of ECU for over 10 years now.
The staff of ECU is always very knowledgeable and
pleasant to deal with and this refinancing experience
was no exception. Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that I was going to be getting my new
loan interest free! Thank you, to all the Eastman Credit
Union staff with whom I have come in contact with over
the last 10 years, for making my family’s banking experiences so great!! “ - Angela
