Get Started with BALANCE - A Financial Resource

Here are some quick ways you can easily get started stretching your dollars.

Tackle Smaller Debts First
Underlining debt can be daunting, especially when everyday items become more expensive, and money is tight. There are easy ways to phase out smaller debts so you can keep more money in your pocket to pay for the items you need right now.
A great solution for reducing smaller debts is consolidating your outstanding credit card balance into one easy and manageable payment. By transferring balances from cards with high interest rates to a lower rate card, you could enjoy a more manageable monthly payment, save money on interest, and have more money leftover in your pocket for things you need right now.
Peach State offers a variety of Visa Credit Cards with fixed-rates as low as 6.9% APR and 0% for six months on all new purchases and balance transfers!1 If you’d like to discuss these options to see how we may be able to help you save money, contact us or stop by a branch location near you.
