DBR Chamber Podcast
Here are the top 5 takeaways from this episode:
Credit unions are “by the people, for the people.” Unlike banks focused on profit, Advia is member-owned and puts people and communities at the center of everything they do, guided by four pillars: integrity, progress, relationships, and keeping people at the core.
Advia is open to everyone. No union membership or special affiliation required. Anyone in the community can join and access competitive financial products including personal banking, auto loans, mortgages, and business accounts.
Credit cards are a hidden gem. Credit union credit card rates are often half of what major banks charge (some near 30%), and new members can get 0% APR for the first 12 months, making it a great option for balance transfers.
Community involvement is core to their mission. Through the Advia Foundation, they’ve provided grants to local nonprofits like the Center for Enriched Living, Salvation Army, and others, and they actively collaborate with neighboring businesses in the Riverwoods area.
They prioritize financial education and long-term relationships. Advia aims to be a trusted financial partner for life, from a first auto loan at 19 to mortgages and retirement accounts, focusing on transformation, not just transactions..
