Our community works each day to help individuals and families grow and succeed, and this program provides unique opportunities for us to be good stewards of the environment and find potential savings for homeowners,\u201d said Fort Wayne Mayor Sharon Tucker.<\/p>\n<p>MidWest America Federal Credit Union and Urban Beginnings Choice Federal Credit Union will be the first financial institutions in Indiana to offer Smart-E loans, which provide credit unions with a streamlined, ready-to-use clean energy financing product that allows them to offer low-interest loans to homeowners for projects such as solar panel installations, heat pumps, weatherization and other energy-saving improvements.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt MidWest America we believe in helping more people, and this product does exactly that,&#8221; said Shad Edwards, Chief Lending Officer of MidWest America Federal Credit Union. &#8220;By making financing for home energy improvements more affordable and accessible, we\u2019re helping families lower utility costs, increase comfort, and invest in their homes.
