Dear Fellow Members,

As we reflect on a remarkable 2024, I want to take a moment to thank you for your unwavering support and trust in our credit union. Together, we’ve achieved incredible milestones, faced challenges, and have stayed true to our mission of serving and uplifting the communities we call home.

This year, we were once again recognized by the South Bend Tribune as Best Financial Institution for the 12th consecutive year and the Best Mortgage Lender for the 6th year in a row. These awards highlight our dedication to excellence and the impact we are privileged to make in your financial journey.

Additionally, 2024 marked a significant expansion for our credit union with the opening of a new branch in Lansing, MI, across the street from Lugnut Stadium. This branch enhances our ability to serve our members and their communities in Michigan, extending our promise of accessible financial solutions to even more people.

We continued deepening our relationship with our community by launching events in collaboration with the South Bend Police Department. These events not only foster stronger connections but also reaffirm our shared commitment to helping our communities grow.

Even though we have plenty of good to reflect on, 2024 presented its challenges, as stubbornly high inflation rates affected households and businesses alike. At the credit union, we understand the pressures this creates, which is why we leaned into our mission to give back. Through our member and community giveback initiatives, we returned over 18% of our net income directly to you, our members, and the community where you live, work, and play. This is one of the many ways Notre Dame Federal Credit Union is here to support you, no matter the economic conditions.

As we move into 2025, our priorities remain the same: to support you, our members, in every way we can. Your support and trust makes everything we do possible. We are committed to remain as more than just a financial institution, but rather a support system you can rely on.

Thank you for being a part of our credit union family, and trusting us to be part of your lives. As always, if you have any questions, suggestions, comments, or complaints, please do not hesitate to contact me at [email protected].
