Financial Wellness FAQs
GreenPath is a 501c3, non-profit organization that provides free financial counseling and financial education to credit union members and employees. Our mission is to empower people to lead financially healthy lives and GreenPath is a great resource to help us accomplish that.
There is no cost for financial counseling. A counseling session typically takes about an hour, and you can expect to have a conversation with your counselor to discuss your situation –review income, expenses, debts, and credit report, talk about goals for the future, and come up with an action plan for what to do next. There is no agenda or sales pitch. GreenPath is here to help.
The first thing your counselor will be doing is creating a budget tailored to your needs. It’s helpful to have an estimate of your monthly expenses, including utilities, food, gas, etc., as well as the combined monthly income of you and your spouse or financial partner.
GreenPath’s empathetic counselors understand the amount of courage it takes just to pick up the phone. You can expect a non-judgmental, unbiased session with your best interest at heart.
GreenPath is open Monday-Thursday 8AM-10PM, Friday 8AM-7PM, and Saturday 9AM-6PM Eastern.
