Program areas at Whatcom Educational Credit Union
Lending:total outstanding loans increased by 10.38% or $201.28 million. It was not an above average year for loan production or demand, however, principal repayment on existing loans was slowed to record lows resulting in significant net loan growth. Despite this, management was able to maintain net interest income in dollars without jeopardizing net income.
Community involvement:while technically not a chartered service, wecu is committed to community service and provides support to a large number of local Educational, health and community concerns. In 2023, helping members and the community at large continues to be a primary focus. This was demonstrated through several activities throughout the year throughout the counties served.
Deposits & liquidity:maintaining cautionary surpluses of liquidity during a period of increased loan production proved difficult and required various tactics. Retention and acquisition of deposits increased the cost of funds and while it was primarily with short-term product (less than a year), it put pressure on earnings. Deposits increased by 4.51% or $96.08 million. Borrowings increased by 531.19% or $144.75 million. This allowed wecu to maintain liquidity reserves throughout 2023.
