Affinity Federal Credit Union presents the Wellbeing and Your Wallet podcast! In the eleventh episode, expert hosts Jacqui Kearns, Shawn Lubitz, and Grant Gallagher are joined by a very special guest, Affinity Federal Credit Union CEO, Kevin Brauer!

The team begins their discussion centered around financial wellbeing. Kevin shares his definition of financial wellbeing and how members can achieve their goals and dreams. Following the initial discussion, Shawn, and the team transition to hearing more about Kevin’s new role as CEO of Affinity, and his mission to help improve the overall wellbeing for members.

Additionally, the team emphasizes the importance of “people helping people” and the significance community involvement has on improving their members' lives. The discussion also underscores the importance of safeguarding their members' personal financial information.

Some additional topics included:

Kevin’s five-year outlook for Affinity Federal Credit Union
Steps the credit union takes to protect member deposits and how is it different than a bank

Following the main discussion, Grant pulled a discussion from the member mailbag, and the team answered the member-submitted question: We received a fun question from one of our members. If you could trade places with anyone for a day, who would it be? Listen to the episode to hear who would like to be Commissioner of the NFL and why!

To wrap up this week, Shawn highlights the opening of the new Madison Branch location coming in May, and Grant reminds the listeners about Affinity’s SmartStart Savings account which increased from 3.5% to 4% APY on the first $10,000 in savings.
