Peake Federal Credit Union Supports a Healthier Financial Future

Celebrate August as National Wellness Month and focus on the benefits of your financial health.

As we celebrate National Wellness Month this August, many of us focus on physical fitness, healthy habits, and mental well-being. But there’s one critical piece of the wellness puzzle that’s often overlooked—financial health.

At Peake Federal Credit Union, we believe true wellness includes feeling confident and in control of your financial life. Just like regular exercise strengthens your body, healthy money habits can relieve stress, support your goals, and build long-term security.

Here’s how we’re supporting our members’ financial wellness—not just in August, but all year round.

What Is Financial Wellness?

Financial wellness means more than just paying your bills. It’s about:

Managing your money effectively
Avoiding unmanageable debt
Saving for emergencies and long-term goals
Feeling secure and confident about your financial future

When your finances are stable, you gain peace of mind—and that positively impacts your physical and emotional well-being.

How Financial Stress Impacts Health

Financial challenges don’t just affect your wallet. Studies show that money-related stress can lead to:

Anxiety and depression
Insomnia and fatigue
Headaches and other physical symptoms
Relationship strain

National Wellness Month is the perfect time to reflect on how money stress may be affecting your overall health—and to take small steps toward improving it. At Peake Federal Credit Union, we’re more than your financial institution—we’re your financial partner. Here are just a few of the ways we help our members boost their financial wellness:

Savings & Budgeting Tools: Our mobile app and online banking tools make it easy to track spending and automate savings transfers.
Flexible Loan Options: competitive interest rate personal loans that offer solutions designed to help your finances.
Member Resources: Access online guides, financial calculators, and more—all tailored to help you make informed decisions.

We’re here to help you achieve your financial goals. Contact Member Services at 410-828-4730, 800-234-4730 or memberservices@peakefederal.comif you have questions.
