Since that time, they have been offering fair financial services and making loans to people who aspire to buy their first home, launch a small business, build or repair credit, or buy a car. Seaway has also taken the time to listen to the community to better understand some of the challenges they face. This reception is a continuation of that interaction that will inform Seaway ’s work to provide financial services that will positively impact the Seaway community.
During the reception, Newell will discuss Seaway’s plans to increase both their presence and commitment to the Seaway community. “These types of exchanges with our customers and the community at large help us better understand some of the challenges they face, and how Seaway can have an impact,” said Newell. “We continue to listen to the community and use that input to shape our financial products and services.”
