During her college years, Jena was looking to learn more about finances and seeking a local financial institution to help provide her not just the tools but also the know-how to make improvements. That’s when she opened her first account at ESL.
Quintin, a Relationship Banker at the Merchants Office, also believes in power of financial education. That’s because he also had strengthened his financial knowledge over time and today is pleased to help share education and resources to help others meet their goals.
How does ESL work with its members to aide in their personal finance journey? It starts with a simple conversation to understand where they are now, and where they hope to be in the future. Reflecting on this first conversation, a bright spot for Jena was she felt comfortable being herself and recognized she’s working with someone who’s committed to helping her grow.
It all started with a discussion about understanding and building credit, then progressed to obtaining her first loan. Today, Jena’s talking about saving for the future and looking to establish roots through the dream of homeownership.
When it comes to taking that next step, Jena knows there’s a trusted expert at ESL she can count on to help her along her path. That’s because at ESL its more than a banking relationship, it’s a partner in your financial growth.
