Annual Report | 2022
Posted on Sep 8, 2023
Dear Member/Owners,
Cheers to another great year at Notre Dame FCU! We pride ourselves on serving you, our owners, and we continued to do just that in 2022. Our credit union family continues to grow, with our credit union growing to meet your needs.
In 2022 we expanded our Phoenix Branch and opened our new Tucson office, accommodating our growing membership in Arizona. We always say “We go where you go” in reference to our 4,000+ shared branches and over 32,000 fee-free ATMs, but we also put our money where our mouth is to bring you our own brick-and-mortar locations as well.
Our credit union remained busy in 2022 as we tried to stay ahead of the multiple rate hikes by the U.S. Federal Reserve. While such rate increases can certainly lead to financial stress for our borrowing members, our mission of putting people on the path toward financial empowerment holds strong. Our priority remains saving you money whenever and wherever we can. In 2022, we saved our owners over $3 million, while also putting over $2 million back into the communities we serve. Our ELEVATE program alone was responsible for donating over $400,000 back to nonprofit organizations.
None of this would be possible without the tireless work of our Notre Dame FCU partners. As an institution, we answer to you, our owners, but our partners are the ones dedicated to serving you day in and day out. They’re the heartbeat of our credit union, the ones who strive to genuinely listen to your needs and do whatever they can to assist. Without these wonderful folks, Notre Dame FCU would just be another financial institution.
As always, I am incredibly thankful for your support and loyalty to our credit union. I am humbled every time I hear someone singing the praises of Notre Dame FCU. They say word-of-mouth is the best form of marketing, and our owners are great marketers!
In 2022 we were named Michiana’s Best Financial Institution in the South Bend Tribune Best of the Best Awards for the 10th consecutive year. Our decade-long run is a testament to our credit union family being in synch with one another, working together to provide a seamless and enjoyable banking experience and trying to make each of our lives just a little bit better.
As always, if you have any questions, suggestions, comments, or complaints, please do not hesitate to contact me at [email protected].
