Durante 75 años…

 

Nos hemos permanecido fieles a nuestra misión: ayudar a quienes más lo necesitan, servir a los demás e inspirar. Las cooperativas de crédito son diferentes: le pertenecemos a nuestros miembros – A Usted. Brindamos oportunidades donde otros dicen que no.

 

Nuestra historia comenzó en 1950, cuando el crédito era un lujo al que pocos podían acceder. Comprar una casa o un automóvil era inalcanzable para muchos. Fue entonces cuando un grupo de empleados comprometidos de Alcoa Davenport Works (hoy Arconic), en Riverdale, Iowa, se reunió en una pequeña sala en un sótano y fundó lo que entonces se llamó Alcoa Employees Credit Union. Su objetivo era sencillo: apoyarse mutuamente. Estos voluntarios trabajaban horas adicionales para otorgar préstamos pequeños pero significativos—a veces para que un compañero pudiera comprar carbón para calefacción, otras para que una familia pudiera dar el pago inicial de una vivienda.

Hoy, 75 años después, Ascentra ha crecido y atiende a más de 40,000 miembros en 20 condados de Iowa e Illinois. Con nueve sucursales ubicadas en Clinton, Muscatine y las Quad Cities, hemos ampliado nuestro alcance—pero nuestro espíritu sigue siendo el mismo. Vivimos bajo el lema “Escuchando, atendiendo, y haciendo lo correcto.” No es solo un eslogan—es nuestra manera de responder a las necesidades de nuestros miembros y de la comunidad.

No solo ofrecemos servicios financieros; caminamos junto a nuestros miembros—guiándolos, educándolos y apoyándolos en cada paso del camino. Creemos en construir comunidades más fuertes, porque eso es lo que nos hace diferentes. Eso es lo que nos hace Ascentra.

Did you finish spring cleaning and find a bunch of stuff to sell? Here are some places to unload it all and make some money in the process. 

If you are meeting sellers/buyers face-to-face, find a well-lit and safe public place to meet. Also, be careful of fraudulent use of digital payment.

Facebook Marketplace
Facebook Marketplace is an online marketplace through your personal Facebook account to buy, sell, and trade items. Login to your Facebook account and click the marketplace header. To list an item, you must provide a name, description, location, and image.

Amazon 
Amazon is simple since you don’t have to take photos or describe your product. Find your product on Amazon and click “Sell” in the menu under the search bar. You will need to set up an Amazon seller account.

e-Bay
This website is accessed by people all over the world. You’re likely to find the right buyers, especially if you're willing to ship internationally. You’ll need a PayPal account for sending and receiving payments.

Craigslist
Craigslist allows you to list items for sale, for free. To be safe, don’t use your personal email for this account. Instead, use the proxy email Craigslist provides. 

Resale shops
If you’re selling clothing, look for a resale or consignment shop in your town. Call ahead and ask what the shop is looking for and an acceptable condition. To get the best price make sure your clothes are clean and neatly folded.
