Posted by [August](https://blog.carolinatrust.org/blog/author/august) on Sep 4, 2020 11:39:16 AM ![August](https://blog.carolinatrust.org/hubfs/CTMizeAugust-4013x.jpg) - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) For the second year in a row, Carolina Trust was named WMBF News' Best in Banking in their Best of the Grand Strand Contest. It is such an honor to be voted as "Best Bank" by members of the Grand Strand Community. ## What is Best of the Grand Strand? This annual contest was created by WMBF News in 2014, as a way for those in our area to nominate and vote for their favorite businesses along the Grand Strand and recognize those businesses as the best, based on WMBF’s viewers. It has grown to include 6 main categories, food, entertainment, shopping, home improvement, professional services and health and beauty. There are over 100 subcategories under those main 6. Although Carolina Trust is a not-for-profit financial cooperative, we were placed in the professional services category with the other banks. We believe that it is our dedication to living out the credit union philosophy, "people helping people," that sets us apart in the financial industry. ## People Helping People Since 1958, we’ve been helping people achieve their financial goals, small businesses get the financing they need, and our employees expand their career potential. Additionally, we actively support our local schools and charitable organizations. We want our members and employees to feel good about the good we do in their communities, and we will continue to build this reputation one relationship at a time. ## Receive $50 at Auto Loan Closing As a token of our appreciation for being named Best in Banking, Carolina Trust is running an auto loan promotion throughout the month of September. When you close a new auto loan or refinance your current auto loan with us, you will receive $50* during loan closing. [Click here](https://www.carolinatrust.org/loans/vehicle-loans/auto-loans/) for more information on this promotion. *Incentive will be deposited to member’s Carolina Trust savings account within 15 days of loan funding. Loan approval and approved Annual Percentage Rate (APR) are subject to credit worthiness. Advertised APR includes a 0.25% rate reduction for automatic draft and a 0.75% rate reduction contingent on a loan-to-value less than 80%. Approved auto loan rate will not be lower than 2.25% APR, including applicable discount(s). Limited time offer. Certain restrictions apply. See Credit Union for details. Federally insured by NCUA.
