How Go Energy Credit Union Can Help Power Your Holiday Season

The holiday season in Georgia is a time of joy, family, and traditions — but it also often brings unexpected expenses. Between gifts, festive gatherings, and travel, costs can add up fast. If you’re looking for ways to stay financially balanced this season, Go Energy Credit Union offers tools and support designed to help you budget smart, avoid high-interest debt, and make holiday financing options work for you.

Why the Holidays Can Strain Your Budget in Georgia

  • With colder weather and holidays like Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s, households often spend more on travel, heating, meals, and gifts.

  • For many, these are once-a-year expenses, not monthly bills, which means they can disrupt carefully crafted budgets.

  • Without a plan, it’s easy to resort to high-interest credit cards or impulsive spending, which can lead to stress after the season ends.

Holiday Financing Options from Go Energy CU

If you find yourself needing extra funds this holiday season, Go Energy CU offers several holiday financing options that are designed to be member-friendly and flexible.

Personal Loans

If your holiday spending includes large purchases, travel, repairs, or consolidating high-interest bills, a Personal Loan from Go Energy CU may be an ideal solution. The credit union’s personal loans have competitive rates (as low as ~11% APR for many types) and flexible terms.

Promotions & Special Rate Offers

During the holiday season, Go Energy CU sometimes offers promotions that help reduce the cost of borrowing or other financial benefits. For example, seasonal promotions may include lower rates on certain loans or special deals tied to holiday spending.

PowerUp Lending or Other Loan Programs

If you’re looking to finance home projects (for example, energy efficiency upgrades) ahead of the colder months, Go Energy CU’s PowerUp Lending Program is another financing path. While not strictly holiday spending, it helps reduce utility bills long term, which frees up budget during holidays.

Savings Strategies & Budgeting for the Holidays

Combining financing with saving and careful planning helps reduce stress and reliance on high-interest loans. Here are some ways Go Energy CU helps with budgeting for the holidays.

Holiday Club & Savings Accounts

Go Energy CU offers several savings account types, including a Holiday Club (or “Holiday Club Account”) designed to help members save gradually throughout the year and receive the accumulated funds in November — just in time for holiday spending.

Open or contribute to a savings account to build up reserves for gifts, decorations, meals, or travel. Here’s the page to explore savings options.

Using Checking & Savings Tools

Make sure your day-to-day banking is aligned with your budget. Use Go Energy CU’s checking accounts, Mobile & Online Banking, and tools like the loan or savings calculators to forecast costs. This helps avoid surprises.

Financial Wellness Resources

Go Energy CU offers a Financial Wellness Center, which can help with learning to budget, tracking expenses, and understanding loan terms. These educational tools offer guidance before you borrow.
