Premier America Spotlight Q2 2024

For 66 years now, we have gathered to discuss how this credit union can provide safe, responsible, and affordable financial services to the community. Since we began as Litton Credit Union in 1957, much has changed. But through it all, our primary focus and sole north star is you, the membership of Premier America.

We have come a long way, and your continued trust and loyalty have made our shared success possible. The credit union’s leadership and all its team members remain committed to the founding principles of going above and beyond to provide exceptional service and value.

Throughout what was undoubtably a challenging year, we remained committed to serving our community by consistently providing an exceptional experience and value. We increased dividends on our money markets, certificates, and even on our checking accounts. Our hope is to be a place of stability and consistency, one that you can count on day-in and day-out. Even in the current economic environment, that dedication has not changed. With the rise in interest rates, we saw a decline in borrowing from our members, and our lending team acted. Both in auto and mortgage, our teams launched new lending initiatives and partnerships to provide even more avenues to support our members – regardless of where they are in their individual financial journeys.

At our 2024 team kickoff, I said that I believed that if we continued to do right by the member it would always pay dividends. I truly believe that. If we do right by our members, the credit union and our communities will thrive.

2024 will be another year of action for our team, and we have identified key initiatives to help us better serve the community. We have embarked on an initiative that will provide a transformative service and online banking experience for our Spanish-speaking members. Throughout the year, we will introduce new business products and services to engage the thousands of small businesses and entrepreneurs that make our communities a great places to live. And through the Premier America Foundation, expect to see more and more opportunities to be involved as we band together to fight hunger and build financial health – which is so vital in helping our friends and neighbors build brighter tomorrows.

Finally, as a CSUN alumnus, I am thrilled at how our first full year with an on-campus branch progressed. Students and staff alike see us and know who we are. We are hosting events in the branch and around campus and making a deep impact in the lives of all students. Our values are deeply aligned, and I am thrilled for the prospects ahead. Thank you for being a valued member and for your trust in Premier America Credit Union.
