Southern Security Federal Credit Union
Watch as the show follows Kristina, a young mother who recently lost her husband to a brain aneurysm, receive financial relief from a high-interest car loan with the help of Southern Security, headquartered in Collierville, Tenn., in the greater Memphis area.
“We are excited for the premiere of Season 3 of Opportunity Knocks and for the show to shine a national spotlight on the incredible work credit unions do every day to support their members and communities,” said Fred Robinson, president and CEO of the Tennessee and Mississippi Credit Union Association. “The series does a powerful job of highlighting the very real financial stress that so many everyday Americans face, from unexpected emergencies to long-term financial challenges. Credit unions were founded on the principle of people helping people, and Opportunity Knocks beautifully captures that mission in action.”
