In a time when help is needed the most, First Financial Federal Credit Union has paid its members more than $1.7 million to date in 2020 through dividends and rebates earned as part of the credit union’s ongoing quarterly rewards program. In the third quarter alone, members earned more than $575,000 in dividends and rebates.
First Financial checking account holders earned more than $125,000 in dividends in the third quarter, with the highest dividends going to Better Rewards checking account holders, who were eligible for additional Visa® debit card rebates. First Financial credit card holders were also eligible for cash rebates. Altogether, the credit union’s members earned over $449,000 in cash rebates for the third quarter.
“We see challenges as opportunities to help,” said Eric Church, First Financial President/CEO. “This year we’ve had a lot of opportunities to help our members, and our quarterly rewards program is just one of the ways we can provide value and assistance. As a credit union, it’s our responsibility and our honor to be there for the people who made us who we are, and this is just one way that we can show them how grateful we are to be of service.”
First Financial is also continuing to offer assistance and other resources to members in need of financial relief in response to the pandemic and its financial ripple effects. Among the increased support programs are loan payment deferral options, increased availability of funds, no-penalty early withdrawals from share certificates, and free financial education.
