80 years of People & Place. 1 Year of Absolute Awesome.

80 years of People & Place. 1 Year of Absolute Awesome.
As we enter 2023, we’re looking forward and looking back. Our year-long 80th anniversary celebration is winding down and will culminate with a celebration at our Annual Meeting of Members this March.
This past summer we’ve been out and about at dozens of community events to broaden our reach while sharing our credit union values and awesome member benefits.
Welcome to summer, where travel and family adventures take flight. We hope that you and your families are able to enjoy the longer days and your travels, or even some downtime with a staycation here on the beautiful Central Coast.
Spring is off to an exciting and promising start as we offer new member benefits, celebrate successes and continue to honor our 80th anniversary.
As 2021 comes to a close, we are looking back at the many accomplishments of our credit union and community. We launched Level Up Member Benefits and I am pleased to see so many of you taking advantage of not just your Everyday Member Benefits, which we’ve always offered, but new benefits including discounted rates on eligible loans and select fee waivers.
SESLOC competed with other San Luis Obispo County organizations in Rideshare’s Summer Clean Air Challenge, and thanks to the efforts of our employees, we came out on top!
We’re thrilled to be back on the Cal Poly campus to welcome students starting the new academic year! Our newest branch and ATM are officially open in the Julian A. McPhee University Union (next to Starbucks) to serve the financial needs of the campus community.
We want to share with you how SESLOC and other credit unions stand out as a reliable and secure option for consumers and small businesses in our local communities.
We partner with GreenPath Financial Wellness to offer unbiased, empathetic, one-on-one financial advisement to our members. GreenPath’s certified credit counselors offer free assistance with budgeting, general financial wellness, debt counseling, foreclosure prevention and support, and student loan payment. GreenPath also offers a Debt Management Program where they negotiate with creditors on behalf of members enrolled in the program to reduce interest rates and help them repay debts faster. In 2021, GreenPath’s certified counselors assisted 8 SESLOC members with a combined $161,488 in debt pay off $55,656 through the program — that’s a reduction of outstanding debt by 34% in under a year!
SESLOC members are saving — and winning! Since the program launched, more than $20,000 in prizes have been awarded.
