Northeast Technical Institute (NTI) Announces Partnership with the University Credit Union (UCU)

New partnership gives staff, students and alumni of NTI financial banking benefits with UCU

Scarborough, ME (PRWEB) April 20, 2010 -- Northeast Technical Institute recently announced that its alumni, students and employees were recently added to UCU's field of membership. University Credit Union is a unique financial solution for the students, employees and alumni of Maine's University System and their immediate family. They provide a full array of financial products to their members, including real estate & consumer loans, business deposit & loan solutions, high-yield checking accounts, eAlert notifications, mobile banking and private education loans.

The partnership also gives qualified NTI students a valuable resource for paying for their education with UCU's private education loan program. The loan program has many features that benefit the student including interest rates that start at just 2% above the prime rate. Additionally, the first payment of the loan is not due until 6 months after the student graduates. UCU's education loans are available in loan amounts from $1,000 up to a student's total certified cost of $15,000. The loan program also features competitive interest rates that reward responsible borrowers.

"We're pleased to be able to offer this loan program through the University Credit Union to help students pay for their education with us," said NTI President and CEO, Jim Liponis. "Especially in this economic environment, with more families struggling this year to find financial resources, the private education loan program offers an affordable option to help families finance their education."
