Start the School Year Strong with Volt Credit Union

Your Next Loan Could Help a Local Teacher, Too.

August means fresh notebooks, new routines, packed lunches… and for many families across Springfield and Southwest Missouri, a few extra expenses.

Whether you’re buying a reliable vehicle for the school year, purchasing a new home before classes begin, consolidating debt, or financing a much-needed project, August is the perfect time to take the next step toward your financial goals.

Apply for a Loan This August and You Could Help a Teacher!

From August 1 through August 31, 2026, every eligible loan that’s approved and funded is automatically entered into our Start the School Year Strong promotion.

We’ll randomly select two loans, and each winner will receive $250 to give to the K–12 teacher of their choice.*

Teachers spend countless hours, and often their own money, helping students succeed. This is our way of helping members pay it forward while reaching their own financial goals. Just finance with Volt and you’re automatically entered.
