Sun Advisor - The Newsletter for the SunWest Family

Our new Goodyear branch is now open

On January 30th, we opened the doors to our new Goodyear branch. Our space is twice the size of our old branch. You'll still get the same great service when you walk in the door, but now with that new branch smell.

Later this month, we're planning a week-long grand opening celebration from February 24th - March 2nd and you're invited.

Friday, February 24th
Official Ribbon Cutting - 9am
Catered BBQ - 4p-6p (300 guests, first come, first serve)

Friday, March 2nd
Free VIN Etch - 9am-1pm

Throughout the week, we'll be drawing for prizes and have some special deals only available during the celebration at our new branch. Stop by and see us, we're open now.

Getting a tax refund?

Tax time is fast approaching and one of the biggest and newest tax-related industries are "refund anticipation loans". These loans are similar to cash advances, getting cash now in return for your tax refund. While there are reputable companies offering these loans, there are also many less-reputable companies, possibly charging high fees and interest rates ranging from 40%-700% APR.

Considering a refund anticipation loan? First ask yourself:

- Do I absolutely need the money now or can I wait a few weeks until my refund arrives?
- Is a refund anticipation loan the best loan for my needs?
- Could a personal loan, like one from SunWest, better fit my needs?

We can walk you through the SunWest loan options that are available to you. Visit any branch or call us at 602-866-1129 or 1-800-533-4133.
