Orange Credit Union has been renowned for their leading local customer-owned banking approach and establishing people-focused projects to help benefit locals by reinvesting profits back into our community.
Now their latest venture, Financial Fitness launches to help relieve the stresses of worrying about money and setting a focus on getting your personal finances in shape, financially fit if you will, to enjoy greater freedoms ready to start fresh and strong for 2022.
With both physical and mental health being at the forefront of many people’s priorities, Financial Fitness aims to play as a key influencer towards wellness and peace of mind for our finances.

Orange Credit Union (OCU), Chief Executive Officer, Andrew de Graaff saying, “Just like physical fitness, financial fitness won’t happen overnight but through your focus and commitment, and support from our team at OCU, we can help you become more confident and empowered to make better money choices for you.”

Mr de Graaff continued, “As the region ‘opens up’ after COVID-19 lockdowns, it is a great time to review our money matters, understand our spending and savings habits, establish goals to get on the path to financial freedom.
“Whether it’s getting off the rental treadmill, climbing the property ladder, consolidating debt, paying off a credit card, understanding digital banking, saving for a holiday, Christmas or something special, knowing how to make a budget and sticking to it, setting children up to be savvy savers, or saving for your next car or caravan we can help you on your way with personalised goals and tips.
“We hope the Financial Fitness challenge will help the participants turn ‘possibilities into reality.’ We want to help you to make the most of your money whatever life stage you are at. Join us to get started on the right track to achieving your money goals,” Andrew says.
Financial Fitness is designed to aid locals and businesses achieve their goal with the following:

- Motivational tips, information and personalised self-help guides.

- Promo offers and giveaways of ‘Think Orange Region’ Shopping cards when customers choose to bank and borrow locally with Orange Credit Union.

- Financial Fitness conversations on our Facebook page #FinFit with “Money Talks” where we can feature local businesses.
