💬 Money Myth Monday with Jen

Myth or Fact? Let’s clear it up!

All credit inquiries equally hurt your score.
❌ Myth!
Not all inquiries are the same. Soft checks (like checking your own credit) don’t affect your score, while hard inquiries (like applying for credit) may have a small impact—but it’s temporary.

💡 Smart tip: Check your credit regularly without worry, and be thoughtful about when you apply for new credit.

✅ Understanding how inquiries work helps you protect and build your credit with confidence.

Your home’s equity should work for you—not the other way around.
For a limited time, we’re offering two HELOC options so you can choose what fits your plans best:
• 4.99% APR* for six months
• OR 2% off your qualifying rate for 12 months
Because one size doesn’t fit all when it comes to your goals.
*APR-Annual Percentage Rate. This offer is available to members in North Carolina only.

💦 A few moments from a meaningful day at
the May Day Festival in Stoneville 💙
It was special to spend time with our
community—sharing laughs at the dunking booth,
catching up with familiar faces, and coming together to
support something bigger than all of us.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, took a shot, or
simply showed up. Your support helps make a
difference for Triad Honor Flight and the veterans they
serve.
We’re grateful to be part of a community that shows up
with heart.
