Help members avoid costly tax refund loans by promoting freetaxrefund.org

Remind members that they don’t need to use expensive tax refund loans to get their refund quickly. Instead they can get their refund fast and for free via direct deposit to their credit union account.

The League has created a sample newsletter article/press release that points them to www.freetaxrefund.org, a site maintained by The League that explains their options using a credit union account.

Credit unions can also leverage their relationships with local radio stations to ask them to run a public service announcement (PSA). The League has made available pre-recorded 15- and 30-second spots, as well as a written script that can be read by DJs. Simply ask your sales rep to provide the copy to on-air personalities or download the recorded PSAs for use anytime now through April 15.

A ready-to-use graphic, which can be placed on your member website in order to direct members to www.freetaxrefund.org, is also available by contacting Chad Helminak at (800) 242-0833, Ext. 6012.
