Missourians have better banking services at their fingertips, and its time for families to take advantage of them. CU Community Credit Union has teamed up with the Missouri Credit Union Association and other credit unions across the state to educate consumers about the value of local credit unions and to encourage Missouri residents to make the switch. Credit union members not only enjoy better rates and lower fees, they are encouraging investment in their community and keeping their money close to home.

Q: My son needs me to cosign a school loan. Is this a good idea? What do I need to know?

A: Parents often want to help their kids pay for higher education, which is commendable, but there is a lot to be concerned about. Student loans are risky. Both the lender and the parent are relying on a student’s future repayment ability and therefore the student's potential to graduate, find sufficient employment to meet the debt service, and afford the cost of living that they will incur after graduation.
