You’re ready to say “I do.”

 

While not quite as exciting, it’s a good idea to put the cake and dress talk aside for a little while and discuss how you will handle finances once you’re married.

From paying for the wedding and honeymoon to buying your first home, MCU is here
to lend a hand.

 

Paying for Your Big Day

 

If your day is a year or more away. . .
Start saving for your big day by putting a little aside each payday. MCU offers savings and money market accounts that will keep your money liquid so funds will be available when you need to make a payment to your caterer or photographer.

 

If you’re day is coming up soon. . .

You may need a little extra cash for the wedding of your dreams. If you’re a homeowner, or your parents are and they are helping you finance your event, an MCU Home Equity Loan or Line of Credit is one of the best and most economical ways to borrow. If you’re not a homeowner, MCU also offers unsecured loans at competitive rates.

 

Combining Financial Accounts

The towels say “His” and “Hers” but what about your accounts? Will you keep separate accounts, joint accounts, or both? Talk about your financial goals and budget and come up with a solution that both of you agree will work.

 

If you’d like a joint account, you can either add your spouse to your current account, or open a new account together. Either way, an MCU Financial Service Associate can help you.

 

Are you changing your name? You’ll need to change several documents to reflect your new name:

 

Beneficiary Review

Now is a good time to review the beneficiaries on all your accounts, including insurance policies and investments.

 


Saving for Your First Home and Future

 

BALANCE

It’s never too early to start planning for your new home. As a benefit of MCU membership, you have access to the BALANCE Financial Fitness Program. BALANCE offers free financial counseling that can be accomplished over the phone. BALANCE counselors can review with you your savings plan, cash flow, and credit score and history. By reviewing this information beforehand, and getting an overall idea of how the mortgage process works, you’ll be able to fine tune your savings plan and have all the necessary paperwork ready when it comes time to buy your dream home.

 

When you’re ready to start looking for your new home, MCU can help with your mortgage. We offer a variety of mortgage options and can help you find one that will suit your financial needs.

 

Financial Planning

Begin saving for the future today by talking to the Investment Adviser Representative located at MCU regarding savings, retirement planning, and insurance solutions. Appointments are complimentary. We can review your existing plan or get you started in the right direction.
