Taylor, Director Report of the Board Chair and President/CEO 2019 was a rewarding and fast-paced year, full of progress and new opportunities for Service Credit Union. While we have always lived by the credit union philosophy of “people helping people,” in the past year we stepped up the idea of ownership among our members by adding and improving forward-looking products and services that reflect their changing needs. Although 2019 got off to an uneasy start for many of our military members because of the government shutdown, we were able to provide financial certainty and support by covering missed payroll and offering a 0% APR interest loan. We are constantly looking for ways to help ease the financial burden of our enlisted members, and to that end we introduced our Readiness Pack, which couples a loan with a starter credit card for newly enlisted military members. With this product, we can help with relocation expenses they may incur and at the same time provide a means to developing credit history. We launched our new website in the summer of 2019, which provided viewers with an easier to use interface, and provided us the ability to deliver richer content. Under the leadership of our fast-growing Fintech team, we continuously look for more opportunities to innovate and enhance efficiencies as we strive to serve our members. To help our member-owners better manage their finances, we took a deep dive into our savings and checking offerings. We introduced new Everyday Checking and Dividend Checking accounts; the more credit union services a member uses, the more benefits they receive, including loan discounts and ATM reimbursements. We also premiered a Primary Savings Account, with 5% APY on the first $500. With many Americans struggling to have enough saved for an emergency fund, the Primary Savings Account encourages savings with a high dividend rate. Given the current and growing student debt crisis, we partnered with CU Student Choice to offer members the opportunity to refinance and consolidate their private and federal student loans. We also made a number of other loan enhancements to provide our members with options and tools to help build credit. To better serve members of the busy Kaiserslautern military community in Germany, we opened a full- service branch at Kapaun Air station in July, replacing a self-service kiosk and ATM location. Locally, we purchased a new operations building in Rochester, NH. This investment will allow our back office teams to grow for years to come in a space that is technologically up to date and easily accessible. And finally, we are excited to announce the launch of the Service CU Impact Foundation. Supporting and giving back to our communities continue to be crucial elements of our mission. Through the foundation, we will conduct charitable activities and partner with service providers that align with our philanthropic areas of focus: education, human services, and emergency care for veterans and military. The foundation will permit us to fund and enhance initiatives beyond those that Service Credit Union itself supports, broadening our community reach and making an even larger impact for our members and the communities in which they live. Thank you to all our members for a fantastic 2019. We look forward to an even bigger and better year ahead.
