AA Credit Union

A W O R D FROM THE CEO 2 | SUMMER 2019 As we reach the midway point of 2019, we hope you've been able to avail yourself of some of our Financial Wellness tools and make some progress. Our partnership goal with you this year is to help you draw your fi nancial blueprint, lay a solid foun- dation and now frame your potential and watch your fi nancial goals begin to take shape. Of course, American Airlines Federal Credit Union is here to help and a great way to make a good start is to exam- ine the support beams of any solid fi nancial structure, a checking account. If you don't have a checking account with us, there's never been a better time to sign up for one as we've recently improved all of our checking options. If you already have one, take some time to famil- iarize yourself with any changes or new benefi ts with your existing account. Some of the many changes include eliminated fees, increased mobile deposit limits, new benefi ts such as foreign transaction fee rebates and enhanced fi nancial education and credit-monitoring tools available via our mobile app. You can fi nd more about all of our checking accounts on Page 28. Compare and contrast to see which one fi ts you best. You probably already know about our terrifi c auto loan rates, but don't forget we also offer attractive fi nancing on a variety of recre- ational vehicles. Whether it's four-wheeling in an ATV, hitting the lake in a speedboat, exploring the country in an RV, riding the open road on a motor- cycle or taking to the skies in your own plane, we make it easier for you to get up and go. You'll also fi nd a number of helpful stories in this issue of ™ to help you frame your potential, including easy steps for opening an IRA (Page 5), a look at some apps to get you on track (Page 6), tips for fi nding the right credit card (Page 6), simple fi nancial advice from a millennial mom (Page 10), an overview of some of the bells and whistles avail- able when buying a new car (Page 12) and much more.
