AUSTIN,
Texas, March 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- UFCU is
pleased to announce a formal partnership between UFCU and the
Greater Austin YMCA (the Y). UFCU has expanded its field of
membership to include YMCA employees as part of this larger
relationship between the two organizations based on similar
missions to support and serve a diverse community.
The YMCA is the latest among more than 200 schools, employers,
and organizations in UFCU's field of membership. Perks of being in
UFCU's field of membership include Direct Deposit services, access
to paychecks up to two days early, and many other financial
solutions. Staff will benefit from the financial success programs
and education opportunities developed to meet their employee
needs.
A unique advantage that UFCU brings is its safe and friendly
"first banking" experience for the Y's many younger employees. Camp
counselors, lifeguards, and similar staff who may experience their
first paycheck with the Y will learn account management and good
financial habits from UFCU's supportive representatives and
Member-first programs.
"We are delighted to be able to provide UFCU's financial
services to our employees," said Kathy
Kuras, President and CEO of the Greater Austin YMCA. "Our
staff extends themselves every day to positively impact our members
and communities. We know they'll get the same excellent service
from UFCU. This partnership does double duty for us because it also
promotes our organizational mission to provide meaningful education
and self-determination in the community."
"Including the YMCA in our field of membership is a natural next
step for us — both of our organizations focus on building brighter
futures for those we serve," said UFCU CEO and President
Michael Crowl. "Over many years,
UFCU has forged a strong relationship with the YMCA, and we see
where they share our commitment to creating positive change in the
lives of people from all walks of life. We are excited to welcome
YMCA employees as UFCU Members."
As part of the growing relationship between the two
organizations, UFCU will participate in YMCA job fairs, host
education workshops and seminars, and attend other events to boost
employee financial education.
