Applications are reviewed by a committee of credit union employees. The committee selects a pool of applicants to be interviewed. Prior to the interview, a background check is completed. Those applications that pass the background check are interviewed, and from that pool, four participants are chosen (in addition to any alternates). Throughout the program, participants will work toward their goals working with financial coaches, posting blogs, completing various media interviews, attending educational sessions, etc. The contest will end December 31, 2024. A committee of credit union employees will review participants' results in January 2025 and a winner will be determined. The winner will be announced in early 2025. All decisions of Summit Credit Union are final, absolute and not subject to inquiry. The $10,000 prize will be selected based on the individual/family that earns the most points during the contest. Points are awarded for percent increase in savings, percent decrease in debt and participation in program events. Percentages are weighted based on gross household income. The winner is selected at the sole discretion of the Credit Union. All decisions are final and are not subject to appeal or dispute. For all events, employees and volunteers of Summit Credit Union, and their immediate families, are not eligible to participate. Immediate family includes spouse, parents, siblings, children, stepparents, stepchildren, grandparents and grandchildren. For more information, call 608-243-5000 or write us at: Summit Credit Union
