FAIRWINDS Becomes the First Credit Union to be Endorsed Nationally by The Ramsey Show

Dave Ramsey, one of the world’s leading personal finance experts and host of The Ramsey Show, began endorsing Orlando-headquartered FAIRWINDS Credit Union in August of 2024.

FAIRWINDS was vetted and approved to be the recommended national personal checking and savings provider of The Ramsey Show. The $4.7 billion credit union has developed a combined checking and savings account bundle created just for the Ramsey audience. Members can enjoy lower fees, better interest rates, and easy access to their money through online and mobile banking. For in-branch banking needs, FAIRWINDS partners with more than 5,000 credit union locations nationwide to serve members.

Financial expert, national bestselling author, and Ramsey Solutions founder and CEO Dave Ramsey has been giving money advice on the radio since 1992. Three decades later, Ramsey is a household name in personal finance, with a mission to change the toxic money culture for good.

Over the past decade, FAIRWINDS has committed to training its employees based on Dave Ramsey’s 7 Baby Steps, a proven method that has helped millions pay off debt and build wealth.

Due to the alignment of Ramsey’s principles and education along with FAIRWINDS practices, the partnership is a natural fit.

“At Ramsey, we teach that anyone can find Financial Peace by following our proven money plan and 7-Baby Steps. We are excited to have found a personal checking and savings provider that doesn’t push debt on their customers, but actually cares about them becoming debt free,” says Steve Watt, Vice President of Strategic Alliances.

“For more than 75 years we’ve guided generations of members to achieve financial freedom by helping them to save more, eliminate debt, build wealth, and live generously,” says Larry Tobin, President and CEO of FAIRWINDS Credit Union. “We’re proud to align our shared mission and offer their audience innovative products and tools that are specifically designed to help you live a debt-free life.”
