Program areas at California Credit Union
We concluded another successful year serving our members in 2022.
California Credit Union remained committed to supporting our communities in 2022 by investing over $727,000 into new partnerships, employee volunteerism, and industry advocacy opportunities. We matched our members' donations providing $27,990 to the worldwide foundation for Credit unions in support of their ukrainian Credit Union displacement fund. We were excited to expand our educational support initiatives with a new internship program, helping open doors to a future career for local students. We also embarked on a new partnership with the scripps howard foundation donating 1,400 books to students in title i schools, helping children in low-income households access books outside the classroom. And, our employees came together to build homes for habitat for humanity, work at the san diego pride festival, participate in the navy's 35th bay bridge run, prepare holiday meals, and much more.
At California Credit Union, we were proud to continue supporting our members and communities by helping them achieve their financial dreams. In 2022, we funded 11,000 auto loans with rates that were among the lowest in California, and members took advantage of our new auto loan rate reset program to reduce payments, lower rates, or receive cash back. We enhanced our Credit card offering with expanded reward opportunities and benefits. Adding new member value has always been a key priority and we continued to deliver by launching a new virtual branch in 2022 to conveniently serve members wherever they are located. To improve the member experience, we rolled out a real-time member feedback platform. We significantly expanded our digital banking and mobile app capabilities by offering free Credit reports, along with a suite of Credit alert and management tools. We also enhanced our mobile banking platform with new navigation, location services, account management preferences, an automated debit card dispute form and self-service options. We welcomed a new partnership with trust & will which provides members with a digital portal to create cost-effective estate plans.
