Make It Count

If you have a check coming your way from Uncle Sam this tax season, then you have a great opportunity to brighten your financial future! While it may be tempting to do something “fun” or temporary with that windfall, HOPE is ready to help you enjoy some long-term benefits of your refund.

Depending on the amount of your return and your current needs, refund proceeds can help you reduce debt, save for the future, or make an important purchase. Some great options to consider when deciding how to invest your refund include:

• Putting a down payment on a car to make the monthly payments more affordable¹
• Using it toward the purchase of a home¹
• Taking out a share secured loan to help build your credit or consolidate debt¹
• Paying off outstanding debts
• Funding your retirement with a HOPE Traditional or Roth IRA
• Setting up your emergency fund in one of our wealth building accounts

With just a little planning, you can make your refund count and benefit from it for years to come.

Be sure to visit HOPE for great advice on reaching your goals (or if you need assistance with setting some). We offer free financial counseling as well as affordable loan and deposit options to support you in getting where you want to go.

Stop by a branch or give us a call to learn more about all the ways we can help you take your refund and make it count.
