Report from the Chairperson and the President 81st Annual Meeting 2017
Your Community Partner dedicated toforming a positive change in people’s lives.
REV I EW OF 20 16
Loan growth in 2016 was 12.12% exceeding $21 million for the year. Asset growth was maintained during 2016. Members are keeping their deposits readily available so they can take advantage of interest rates if and when they rise.
The oil industry has not rebounded in 2016. The members have unexpected situations arising including job loss, medical situations and reduced hours. The local opportunity for jobs exists in the construction area; therefore, many individuals are changing careers.
The members of Coastal Community And Teachers Credit Union were paid over $1.4 million in dividends in 2016. The Bonus Checking account continues to pay 3.50% annual percentage rate if members meet the qualifying criteria within the cycle period.
One of the main projects in 2016 was the launch of e-Commerce items known as POP Money and Remote Deposit Capture. With the addition of these items, Coastal Community And Teachers Credit Union is very competitive.
NOW TO 20 17For 2017, your credit union will focus on educating members of our credit union and our communities. Predatory lending (such as finance companies and payday lenders) is at an all-time high and does not benefit the consumer. Payday loans cause individuals to get in a cycle that spirals out of control. Finance companies are not regulated as financial institutions are and a person can easily be charged interest well over 300%.
Your credit union will partner with YOU – an individual AND business to bring education to the consumer. What better way to reduce stress but to be educated and set your own self-improvement plan for 2017.
We highly encourage all of our members and future members to consider their financial picture and make Coastal Community And Teachers Credit Union your primary financial institution. Our success is due to the members who deposit their funds and members who borrow – this is truly the cooperative effort and the premise of the credit union industry.
Your credit union remains strong and solid. Our Board of Directors, Management and Staff thank you for your business. We look forward to partnering with you to grow our organization.
Report from the Chairperson and the President 81st Annual Meeting 2017
Your Community Partner dedicated toforming a positive change in people’s lives.
Our culture within Coastal Community And Teachers Credit Union is one that offers individuals options to better their financial situation. Education is key to helping members
improve their credit score, eliminate high interest credit card balances, lower their monthly payments and protect them against predatory lenders.
We have helped many and this niche is one that makes your credit union stand out in the community. We recently helped one member who had a high 600 credit score but had been charged an 18% interest rate on her auto. We lowered her payment by $130 a month and shortened the term by 12 months. This was a total savings of over $7,825.

COASTAL COMMUNITY AND TEACHERS CREDIT UNION80th ANNUAL MEETING MINUTES
APRIL 5, 2016 - 7:00 PM
PRESIDENT’S REPORT: Prince welcomed everyone to our 80th Annual Meeting and thanked them for being in attendance. Please review the President and Chairperson’s report in the Annual Report you received this evening. In 2014, we began a transformation of our organization from order-takers to being your Financial Solutions Partner. During 2015, we saw an increase in the business as a result of this culture change which includes the fact that we look at your entire situation and help you financially whether it is by combining loans or reviewing your credit score to give you a road map to your financial future. I am proud to say recently we had a post on our Facebook page by our Training/Development Officer – Stephanie – it was a young man, John, who came to see us and we gave him the financial advice of his life – his credit score improved 124 points in 4 months – now he is the proud owner of a vehicle and received the rate he deserves – originally his interest rate was 15%, now he was offered a rate as low as 4% - this interest rate difference equals a savings of $6,400 over the life of his loan – this is what we do – in response to that post – there were more than 58 comments – “how can you help me” – “what do I need to do” – this post was liked by more than 200 people – it was shared more than 26 times – there were 58 comments and more than 31 responses – consumers are wanting more financial education and they want to become financially fit – we are changing lives and this, in turn, has helped us become your financial partner. We help individuals Raise their credit score, Lower their monthly payments, Eliminate their high interest rate credit card balances and Protect them from predatory lending – that’s right 200-300% interest rates offered by payday loan companies and finance companies – we are the alternative and we are here to provide that resource. We are no longer order takers! Another change in 2015 was the upgrade of our technology – how excited I am to announce our technology is FREE, user friendly and right at your fingertips – our mobile app is a great tool – FREE
– you can transfer money to accounts at the credit union right from your mobile app – not just your accounts but others – like your children – you can have text messages set to alert you of large withdrawals, low balances – what a life saver and it can also alert you to activity that maybe shouldn’t be going on in your account – then you can alert us – e-statements are right there now on the internet banking site – no longer do you have to visit two different sites – we have Finance Works – a budgetary tool – I know sometimes we don’t like to know where our money goes but it is user friendly – FREE – and available right on the main page. We have FREE bill pay – our board of directors elected to eliminate that fee in 2015 – we want you to use our services – we want to encourage you to browse in our internet banking site – see what wonderful things are offered to make your life easier. Prince asked the staff to stand – our staff accumulated over 1,100 community service points in 2015. We are a community credit union and it is important to support our communities in which we operate. We have previously recognized our staff and thanked them for their tenure, we awarded Perfect Attendance and Volunteer of the Year – tonight, though we have saved the Employee of the Year to be announced shortly. What we do (our niche) that makes us stand out from other financial institutions – our staff listens to your needs, we consider your entire financial situation, we offer a match or beat interest rate program, we offer a checking account where you may be paid interest up to 3.50% APR and receive up to $25 in monthly ATM refunds and we have a member referral program whereas you will receive a $100 incentive if you refer a loan of $10,000+ and the loan closes. Now – what other financial institution does that – we do this because WE ARE YOUR FINANCIAL PARTNER. Thank you for being here this evening and thank you for being OUR MEMBERS.
