A no-cost financial wellness program for employees

Financial stress has skyrocketed, impacting employee wellbeing and organizational success. Recent studies show that 92% of employees stress about their finances, and it’s costing employers nearly $200 billion annually.1 That’s why it’s time for companies to offer personal finances as part of their overall benefits package to help boost employee productivity, loyalty and retention.

2 LevelUp (formerly the Timely Repayment Incentive Program aka TRIP) is offered to members who are approved for the following loans at Patelco’s credit tier 2 or higher: auto, motorcycle, RV, boat, and personal loans, excluding all lines of credit. Total discount of up to 1.50% APR (Annual Percentage Rate) applied in 0.50% APR increments for every 12 consecutive on-time monthly payments. Maximum discount will never cause the final APR to be lower than the LevelUp floor rate for the specific loan and term at time of funding. Monthly payment amount remains constant, with additional money going toward principal, which shortens the term of the loan and the total amount paid over the life of the loan and is not required to maintain your Patelco membership.

3 The ScoreUp savings account is used as collateral for your ScoreUp loan. As of 02/16/2023 the APY (Annual Percentage Yield) for of the ScoreUp savings account is 0.05% and is subject to change without notice.

The $50 reward will be credited to your savings account within 5 business days of the qualifying new account being opened.
