FALL 2013 Presidents Message Dear Member, WHAT IF? You had checking accounts with no monthly fees tied to them at all. No games, no tricks? You had business accounts with no monthly fees for deposit checks and transaction numbers? You had no more Overdraft fees. If Your check went to the overdraft there was not a $30-$50 fee? You had no more Visa balance transfer fees. You need money and there was no 1%-3% access fee? You were told there is a fixed rate Visa You can count on with no rate games, or hidden fees? Your Visa was a Platinum card, no matter what Your credit was, with rewards over 2%? You had the ability to transfer money from Your Visa to Your checking online with no fee? You were told that no matter what Your credit score was, the Credit Union would lend to You? You were told that Your Credit Union developed a cheaper, Express Cash loan solution to end Pay Day loans? You were told Your loan is worth money and the Credit Union would pay You Annually to get it here? You discovered that You can help Your fellow members get a loan and get paid a good dividend for that? You found out that the Credit Union is the only one in the US approved to do Peer-to-Peer lending? You could refer your friends and family to the CU and get paid up to hundreds of dollars a month? You found out this CU doesn t advertise to the masses, yet grows through referrals at 20% per year? You had a Credit Union that just invested over $1 million dollars in Your online experience and apps? You were a part of a true Co-op that will pay You an annual dividend every year that it is profitable? You found out that this Credit Union was going to pay over $500,000 back to the members this year? You had the ability to hear The Reason Why Your Credit Union did things, directly from the President? You had the ability to volunteer, vote and run for the Board of Directors of that Credit Union? You had a Credit Union with a 501c3 Charitable Foundation arm that raises thousands for charity? You found out that there is a true Credit Union left that cares about You? Would that be worth something to You? Would that Be the Difference that made a Difference in Your life? Now, What If I told you that was Your Credit Union? American United Federal Credit Union.
