Catholic United Financial Launches Sprout(SM) Solutions for Catholic families

ST PAUL, Minn,, Jan. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Catholic United Financial is pleased to announce the launch of Sprout^SM Solutions to specifically address the needs of young Catholic families. This is a part of Catholic United Financials' mission to meet the financial needs of its member by delivering a suite of products and services that grow and protect their financial futures.

Sprout^SM Solutions brings together credit union, insurance, and philanthropic products to encourage savings, foster good financial habits, promote charitable giving, and protect financial futures.

"Some of families most important decisions are made around the kitchen table," said Andrea Ferkingstad, president of Catholic United Financial Credit Union. "Sprout^SM Solutions can inspire conversations and actions that help families achieve their life goals and live a life of prosperity and security."

Sprout^SM Solutions Pocket the Change* is an easy way to make everyday purchases as part of an automatic savings plan which creates good financial habits and encourages charitable giving. How it works: Debit card transactions are rounded up to the nearest dollar amount and the change is transferred from a checking to savings account at the end of every day. You can save your "Pocket the Change" for future goals or donate it to a Catholic school or church of your choosing.

"Pocket the Change is a great way to encourage teenagers to save and give," Ferkingstad said. "Parents can also link Pocket the Change to a Reward Checking account that will help them grow their money even faster with an account they use every day."

Sprout^SM Solutions Reward Checking* allows individuals to earn a better return on a high-yield personal checking account by meeting a few simple requirements such as enrolling in eStatements, setting up a direct deposit, and completing a certain number of debit card transactions. It's a flexible account, with unlimited withdrawals, and spending and giving can be easily tracked with online and mobile tools.

Other Sprout^SM Solutions include Term Life Insurance, Youth Life Insurance and Individual Retirement Annuities.

"It's impossible to know what the future will bring, but folks can greatly benefit from starting a plan and implementing the various financial tools to help reduce the financial impact of tragedy. Life insurance can provide young families with a safety net should the worst happen," said John Tetzloff, Director of Sales for Catholic United Financial. "I see a lot of people pleasantly surprised when they sit down with a Member Advisor and see an affordable term life quote, or when they find out they can start a flexible IRA for $100 a month. Setting up these tools for future security doesn't have to be complicated. The solutions offered by Catholic United Financial Sprout^SM prove that."
