2015 Annual Report
Report from the President/CEO & Board Chairman Paul Paulsen Chairman Board of Directors James D. Poplin President/CEO In 2015, Austin Telco Federal Credit Union maintained its commitment to stability and growth. We introduced innovative and in demand services to our members. Austin Telco moved aggressively to grow our loan portfolio with an increase of $92.1 million in loans outstanding, which represents an increase of 18.58%. Austin Telco ended the year with $1,353,081,886 in total assets and $159,747,150 in total equity. Our membership base is currently more than 79,000 and still remains the 2nd largest Austin based credit union. We expanded our branch footprint with the opening of our new drive thru branch in the Oak Hill area at the intersection of HWY 290 and William Cannon. This brings Austin Telco to 24 locations available to serve members throughout the Austin Metro area. We enhanced our member experience by introducing a newly redesigned website. The new website features a clean, more contemporary look, additional security features, and a better organization of content. The new site also has responsive design to work across a wide range of devices; including smart phones, tablets and desktops. In addition to the new website, we rolled out an entirely new online banking platform with a wide range of improved and expanded services including online password resets, expanded transfer capabilities, enhanced account details and much more. This past year we also introduced Apple Pay. Members can now use their Austin Telco Visa credit and debit cards securely to make purchases. You can pay in stores without swiping your cards and in apps without entering your payment contact information. We would like to thank our hardworking staff who provides exemplary service to our members. We would also like to thank the volunteer members of the Board of Directors as well as the Supervisory Committee for their dedication every day to the credit union movement. Their expertise and knowledge guide this organization toward continued success. Finally, we would like to thank our members for putting their trust in Austin Telco. Our growth can be attributed in so many ways to the faithful support of our loyal members. Oak Hill Branch

Report from the Supervisory Committee Chairman The Supervisory Committee is made up of volunteers appointed by the Board of Directors to oversee all aspects of Austin Telco s operations on behalf of the members. The committee, along with the internal auditors, ensures that the management of Austin Telco upholds procedures that comply with generally accepted accounting principles. The committee also makes certain that Austin Telco s audited financial statements provide a fair and accurate representation of the financial condition of the credit union.

In addition to our audit functions, we also monitor policies and procedures to protect members from fraud and errors, review internal controls, meet with auditors and federal regulators, consider suggestions for improvement to the operations of Austin Telco, and respond to any concerns or complaints that members may direct to our committee. Joe Bain Chairman Austin Telco once again received the highest rating on this year s examination by our federal regulators, the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA). The committee is delighted to report that Austin Telco is in excellent and extremely strong financial condition. We wish to express our appreciation to the Board of Directors, management, and staff, for their continued support and cooperation.
