Spring
brings some exciting news as it relates to your Credit Union. As
you’ll read in this edition of the BottomLine, HealthAmerica is expanding
again.
We’ve
just formally accepted into our membership the 8,000 members of Marketplace
FCU. Together, our two
Credit
Unions, with 20,000+ members and $100 million+ in Assets, result in an even
stronger and more secure HealthAmerica - very significant in today’s
financial and banking crisis.
You may have read how the serious sub-prime mortgage issues now have the
federal bank regulators predicting a number of banking failures.
I’m pleased to emphasize that HealthAmerica Credit Union has never
invested in any mortgage-backed securities nor made any of those risky home
loans. We continue our
Superior
financial ratings, and we are described
again by IDC, the independent ratings agency for
United States
banks and credit unions, as “one
of the safest institutions in the
United States
.”
We
can’t speak for anyplace else where you may have part of your money on
deposit, but to our members - old and new - rest assured that your very
hard-earned dollars are absolutely safe with us!
With
that in mind, we again suggest you can all become more informed consumers.
Inquire of your current financial institution - whether a bank, a credit
union, or other - “What is your IDC Financial
rating?” If they can’t (or won’t) provide you with their IDC
rating, give us a call, and we’ll try to look it up for you.
Remember - entrusting some or all of your life savings to any
facility based on just an ad or a rate, when their stability
and financial condition are unknown to you, can be a very, very risky and
unsafe move!
At HealthAmerica, we understand that you work hard for your money, and we
want to put that money to work for you - and in the safest way possible!
