In season 2 of the public television series ‘Opportunity Knock$,’ BECU steps in to offer a struggling family empathy, hope, and a path to financial freedom.

The show focuses on helping the 40% of Americans who live on survival budgets, providing guidance and support through financial challenges.
In season 2, viewers meet Lynette and Omar, a married couple struggling to make payments on multiple payday loans. BECU representatives work with the couple to consolidate their loans into one personal loan with a better interest rate, saving them over $1,650 per month. Additionally, Lynette and Omar receive financial coaching from Stacey Black, BECU’s lead financial educator, who helps them take steps towards their dream of homeownership.
