Central ME FCU Member Wins Cash For Sharing Unique Money Saving Tip!

One Maine credit union member received more than savings on his electricity bill when he shared his money saving tip, “I bought a voltage reader and the electronics that use the most energy remain unplugged until ready for use.” Central ME FCU member Michael Albert of Lewiston, ME won $250 for this winning entry in Maine Credit Unions’ Shared Branching Savings Tip Competition.

Albert was the June winner in this competition, which is part of a Shared Branching Campaign by Maine’s Credit Unions. Credit unions throughout the state are involved, directing members to a microsite, ShareItAndSave.org, where they can share their own financial tip. Each month, the member who shares the most unique tip is awarded $250! The site also features a Shared Branch Locator, with which users can enter an address or intersection to find the three closest Shared Branches.

There are currently over 140 Shared Branching locations in Maine, and over 4,300 locations across the country and internationally. To find a location near you, or to share your savings tip, visit ShareItAndSave.org. Or, for a listing of the thousands of nationwide locations, visit www.cuservicecenter.com.
