Credit Advocacy: Defending Your Dreams
Credit can be a confusing, difficult business. There are so many things to consider, so many factors that apply, and all that fine print.
At Eastern, we defend your dreams by working as your advocate. What's an advocate? Someone who stands by your side, who intercedes on your behalf, who works to make your life better. At Eastern, that's what we do. By using our knowledge, expertise and sincere desire to help, we can offer guidance, advice and services to help your credit work for you...rather than the other way around.
The Three-Rs: Reduce, Review, Reinvest
We developed the Three-Rs as a way to help members understand that the actions they make in their financial lives have consequences, then to teach them about how they can best use these decisions to build their futures...to defend their dreams.
Review
means we'll take the time to review your current financial situation, and help you understand where improvements can be made.
Reduce
means we'll look to reduce the costs you pay on financial services and decisions where possible, and educate/encourage you to reduce the behaviors that get in the way of reaching your dreams.
Reinvest
means we'll help you create long-term wealth by encouraging you to take the money you save, either on your own or through one of our advocacy programs, and invest it in yourself
Auto-Rate, a discount for higher down payments
One such program is our Auto-Rate program, where we offer a discount on an auto-loan rate when you make a higher down payment on your vehicle. Why pay more down? You'll pay less money in interest over the life of the loan, and can perhaps put the savings into, well, savings. Find out more about it right here.
Auto-Pilot, on your side today and tomorrow
Auto-Rate is part of Auto-Pilot, a complete vehicle buying program we developed which works to help you not only get the best deal on your financing, but aims to help you find the right car, at the right price, and help protect it after the initial purchase and warranty period. Find out more about it here.

We also have partnered with Equidata on a service which helps you understand your credit score and credit report data. You can click here for more information.
These are just a few of our credit advocacy programs, designed to help defend your dreams by defending your credit. We also help out everyday, in many other ways. Stop by any branch or give us a call today and let us help you defend your dreams!
