Ent Credit Union’s Free Financial Coaching Program Empowers Coloradans

Posted by Alyse Knudsen on July 8, 2025

Ent Credit Union is proud to offer its members and the wider Colorado community free, one-on-one financial coaching to help them build stronger financial futures. The program, which is available virtually and at 53 service centers across the state, saw record participation this spring, highlighting both its growing visibility and the increasing need for personalized financial support.

“Our coaching program is all about making financial topics easier to understand and apply,” said Emma Protsik, Supervisor of Financial Coaching at Ent Credit Union. “Whether you’re just getting started with budgeting, trying to improve your credit, or planning for something big, our team is here to help. The guidance is free, totally confidential, and built to meet you wherever you are in your financial journey — no judgment, just real-life solutions.”

In April 2025 alone, Ent hosted 135 first-time coaching sessions, the highest monthly total to date, plus 40 follow-up sessions — more than double the number of new coaching sessions held in January. In total, the program facilitated 205 coaching sessions in April, including 30 with GreenPath, a trusted nonprofit financial counseling partner.

As a partner of the Broncos Foundation, Ent hosted a Broncos hat promotion that offered a limited-edition cap to anyone who completed a financial coaching session. The campaign was a big win, sparking strong interest and increasing engagement with Ent’s financial education programs among members and the community.

So far in 2025, Ent’s financial coaches have facilitated more than 770 sessions statewide. Budgeting remains the number one topic of interest among participants, with debt management, credit, saving and goal planning following closely behind.

In June, 20 more Ent team members completed training to become Certified Credit Union Financial Counselors.

This financial coaching initiative aligns with Ent’s 2025 strategic vision, which prioritizes serving financially vulnerable individuals through education, specialized banking products, and improved access to financial resources.
