Credential is pleased to announce a new partner agreement with T.E. Wealth to offer customized financial plans. This partnership provides another option on Credential’s Specialist Platform for credit union advisors to augment the services they offer to clients with complex financial planning needs. The advantage of this arrangement is that credit union advisors maintain the primary client relationship, and engage the expertise provided by T.E. Wealth on a fee-for-service basis. Advisors then continue to work with their client to implement the customized financial plan.

“This arrangement is essentially another tool in the toolkit for our credit union advisors. By using T.E. Wealth on a referral basis, advisors continue to be the primary wealth expert for their clients, with access to specialized experts as needed,” says Kim Thompson, Senior Vice President, Advisory Services at Credential. She adds that, “with credit union advisors across the country, it’s particularly beneficial that T.E. Wealth has a national network of financial experts.”

Credential selected T.E. Wealth as a specialist partner because of their extensive experience providing individuals with truly objective financial advice.
