CEO
CORNER
Kemba Credit Union continues to grow as we maintain
a very strong financial position. Loan and deposit
growth have been incredibly strong throughout 2014.
Membership growth has been solid as consumers
realize the many benefits Kemba has to offer.
You’ve probably noticed the rise in certificate rates
at the credit union. This is a great time to invest your
hard earned dollars with Kemba. Our rates are some
of the highest in the area and have even gained
national exposure, so please keep us in mind for your
investments.
Kemba was a proud sponsor of the Freestore
Foodbank’s Rubber Duck Regatta. This is the 5th year
we have teamed up with the Freestore Foodbank and
several local sponsors to support this great cause. With
your help, we provided 120,000 meals to those in need.
We continue to serve the membership with tech
adoption. Our recent addition of Mobile Deposit, allows
eligible members with checking accounts to deposit
checks via their mobile phone or tablet. We also have
plans for a new online banking system coming in early
2015. This new system will allow added convenience
and new services for online access. Please check out
Kemba.com for updates.
As the holiday season approaches, we encourage you
to use your Kemba Debit or Credit Card for your holiday
shopping needs. Our Kemba credit cards offer low rates
and come with the same great service you get with all
your Kemba products.
I would like to thank you for your loyal support.
