Turn your financial dreams into reality

No matter where you are in life, you may have questions about your finances. Redstone’s goal has always been to help members take control and reach their potential. We strongly believe in fostering the financial well-being of our members so you can live brighter.

Each person’s situation is unique; that’s why we offer a variety of solutions. Whether you choose self-service or in-person, it’s our goal to give you the education and empowerment you need to achieve your goals. Redstone has a team of educators dedicated to empowering our members (and non-members) to stay ahead of their finances. We offer a number of financial education programs – for youth, students, and adults.

If you do not see a program that meets your needs, or you would like to learn more about or schedule a financial education workshop, please contact us. We can always look at ways to customize a program for your school, company, or non-profit organization.

Credit Score Education

Your credit score is used by lenders to decide if they’ll approve you for a credit card or loan, and is an indicator of how likely you are to repay debt. Credit scores are generated using information from your credit report and proprietary scoring models. FICO, used by 90% of top lenders and VantageScore, used by Credit Karma, are two of the top credit score models.

If you currently have a lending product with Redstone, your FICO score is available for FREE within online banking.
VantageScore is a credit score jointly developed by the three major credit bureaus and is also available for free, through Credit Karma.

Remember to review your credit report annually to ensure the information is accurate and correct any potential inaccuracies which may impact your credit score. You can get one free credit report each year at annualcreditreport.com.
