Ascentra CU's Newcomers Initiative: Affordable Loans for Immigration Services

Ascentra Credit Union, a member of the Federation and Juntos Avanzamos networks, has formed community partnerships with area providers of low-cost immigration services to provide affordable loans for clients who need to pay for costly but needed services.

The Newcomers Initiative is a program aimed at helping immigrants and refugees pay for the cost of residency, naturalization and other fees, and allows individuals to finance these costs and establish or improve their credit score, while introducing many to mainstream financial services provided by a trusted financial institution.
