GPO dedicated to helping our members reach their financial goals – reducing debt, saving for higher education, buying your first home, or planning for retirement.  That is why we are proud to offer our members access to the BALANCE Financial Fitness Program.

Through BALANCE, you have access to free, unbiased money management information and assistance. All you have to do is make a toll-free phone call.

BALANCE counselors can answer many of your questions immediately – from how long an item stays on your credit report to whether it's better to lease or buy a car.  For more complex issues, such as debt elimination or budget development, an appointment will be scheduled – giving you the personal attention you need to meet your objectives.

If bills have gotten out of hand, your counselor may be able to arrange a Debt Management Plan. BALANCE negotiates with creditors to reduce interest and fees so you can pay your debt quickly and efficiently. As a GPO member, the plan's monthly administration fee of $35 is waived.

To use the new program, simply call 888-456-2227. Counselors are available Monday through Thursday, 8am to 11pm, Friday, 8am to 8pm, and Saturday, 11am to 8pm or click here for more information.

We recognize that money concerns have a serious effect on our quality of life. Now, you have access to the very best professional guidance – so you can achieve financial security faster than you ever thought possible.
