Truliant Federal Credit Union

Sometimes it's good to think small. 😎 We're proud to be the #1 credit union in the country for SBA 7(a) loans! Are you a small business looking to grow? Let's talk!

We are committed to helping our neighbors devastated by Hurricane Helene get back on their feet. The Truliant Foundation has committed over $50,000 towards food and resources in Western NC and other impacted areas, including 16,000 bottles of water to Miracle Hill Ministries in Upstate SC and to the Carolina’s Credit Union Foundation Disaster Relief Fund. We are also providing financial support to our employees in affected communities who are without power and basic necessities. If you’d like to assist with these ongoing efforts, you can donate to the Truliant Foundation here: https://lnkd.in/eRs-UREv

Another month of great Charlotte events in the books! (And yes, our books are balanced) Thanks for having us!

We rolled out the welcome mat last evening in Winston-Salem for a free seminar about becoming a homeowner. 🏡 The seminar covered topics such as budgeting, down payments, credit reports, debt-to-income ratios, and the mortgage lending process. Truliant Mortgage Loan Officers and local real estate agents were also present to answer questions! Thanks to everyone who came out!

Leveling up leadership in the credit union world! 🎉 Earlier this week, our recent leadership summit focused on equipping our teams with the skills to navigate the future of finance. We delved into the transformative potential of AI and the crucial role of emotional intelligence in fostering strong leadership.

We have been a proud supporter of Jim Longworth and Triad Today for 21 years— since the very first episode on October 3, 2003. As the longest running and only locally produced public affairs show in the Piedmont Triad, we are proud to celebrate the 1000th episode with Jim and the Triad Today family. During the taping, our own Atticus Simpson announced a contribution from the Truliant Foundation to the UNCG Media Studies Department in honor of Jim (an UNCG Alum) and his long time service to the communities we serve together. Thank you and Congratulations, Jim! If you’d like to watch this latest episode, please click here: https://lnkd.in/gtcaTFz2

If we had a dollar for every event we attended in the Triad, we'd be rich. Did you spot us around this month? 💰
