Letter from the President
Dear Members,
What a great year we’ve had so far! These summer and fall months always seem to soar by so quickly. With vacations, school, sports, and spending time outdoors, it’s easy to let time slip by when life gets busy. But, I encourage you to pause for a moment, reflect back on the goals you set early this year, and remember the “why” behind achieving them! It’s important to keep your goals top-of-mind so that you can persevere in making them a reality and ultimately, soar financially.

One of the best things about working at Spero is having the privilege to hear often about how we’re able to help our members improve their financial lives. In fact, a few weeks ago, we had several members join us for our member photoshoot and shared story after story about how our credit union has helped them soar financially. The Blanton Family was one of these stories - sharing how Spero Financial (then SC Telco) has been a part of their family throughout all life stages and into future generations!
Mrs. Blanton said it best, “Our membership with SC Telco/Spero began back in 1980 when we were newlyweds in Charleston, and I worked for Southern Bell. Nine years ago, we moved to the Upstate. Over the last 42 years, our credit union has been with us all the way. When our daughters were born, we opened accounts for them, and they learned how to save and then manage their own checking and credit card accounts. Our oldest daughter received a credit union scholarship, which helped her receive her BS in nursing. We’ve had multiple accounts – savings, checking, credit card, retirement, mortgage, and car loan and have always had good rates and low fees. Most importantly, we’ve always been treated like family, not customers of a financial institution. Life’s journey goes quickly, and as we move into our senior years, we appreciate that although it has grown, Spero is still family.”
The most important thing I’d like to highlight from Mrs. Blanton is family, which is especially important to us at Spero. We not only know you by name, but we truly want you to succeed financially! We also want to help you nurture good financial habits so that your children and future generations can soar financially, too!
In this issue of Checkpoint, you will get helpful tips to make smart financial decisions and achieve your goals in all stages of life! The Blanton Family is only one example. Turn to page 6 to hear from others. If they did it, you can too. And know, at Spero Financial, we’ll be here to help you each step of the way. Thank you for being part of the Spero family!
I appreciate you!
