UK Federal Credit Union

Lisa R. Highley

Helping the Central Kentucky community fulfill their dreams is what drives Lisa Highley, VP of Lending at UK Federal Credit Union, and her highlyskilled team, everyday.

UKFCU is a full-service financial institution that provides exceptional service to their over 105,000+ members. Started by six UK College of Agriculture professors in 1937, UK Federal Credit Union (UKFCU) partners closely with the school and areas beyond the university.

Lisa has been in lending for the past 18 years of her financial career. “Sometimes, we are lending money for what people need, such as a car to get to work. Other times, we are lending money for what people desire, such as a boat or ATV or financing a home improvement project. Regardless of the reason, we are helping someone and that is fulfilling.”

Lisa wants to leave readers with the advice to plan for retirement. “As a society, we have not done a great job at this. Some Americans have no savings for retirement. If you work for a company that offers a match, take advantage of that. Meet with a financial planner to see if you are on target for retiring at the age you desire or what changes you need to make to meet that goal.”
