Money grows on trees (sort of)

If you visit one of Tech CU’s 10 Financial Centers in the SF Bay Area, you may notice our ‘Grow Your Green’ money trees on display. These serve as little reminders that money doesn’t grow on trees, but that we can still plant the seeds of financial success and continue to grow our green every day.
A look at the 'Grow Your Green' money tree in the Tech CU Financial Center in Dublin, Calif.
It’s symbolic of the entire ‘Grow Your Green’ movment, really–to remind us that, just like those trees, our savings accounts need care and attention in order to grow and thrive. So we’re so glad you’re part of the GYG movement because that means you’re planning for your future too.
And hey, we want to help. Remember to post comments and videos. In fact, Tech CU is holding a video contest, and giving away a gift card* worth $25 to the first two members who post a video** on GYG each week, starting Monday, April 20 through the end of May. (We’ve even posted how-to instructions.) Oh, and at the end of the month we’ll ask our online community to vote on their favorite video; that person will receive $50! And then there’s the grand prize of $1,000–at the end of the year GYG members will vote for the winner of the $1,000 grand prize. How’s that for a boost in growing your green?!
So whether you’re stopping by a Financial Center to make a deposit to your savings account or you’re logging onto GYG to let us know how you’re doing, keep up the great work!
Oh, and while you’re at it, remember to tell your friends and family about the ‘Grow Your Green’ way to save for their financial goals–how being a member of this online community can help them to save even more. They’ll thank you for it, because we all can use the support and encouragement. (At least I know I can!)
*To be eligible for the $25 gift card, you must have a Tech CU Savings Challenge account. The two weekly winners will receive an email with a choice of gift cards valued at $25. After winners select their choice via email, Tech CU will mail them their gift cards. We must have a valid home or office address in order to mail the prizes. Tech CU is not responsible for lost or stolen cards.
