Dear Members,
It was 33 years ago when a few visionaries from our Sidhpur Jamat came up with the brilliant idea of establishing a credit union to create economic opportunities for their fellow community members. The idea not only materialized into this magnificent institution, but it also has enabled thousands of members to improve their earning capacities.
As always, Pioneer has strived to go above and beyond in trying to meet members’ needs with a strong focus on providing quality service. We want all of our members to know that they can count on their credit union to take care of them and help them achieve their financial goals. Once again, we set ourselves apart from other financial institutions with quality member service, various growth strategies, and innovative programs. Our members earned high returns year after year. While the other credit unions gave out a minuscule 0.1% dividend on their regular saving accounts last year, Pioneer was pleased to distribute to its members a generous yield of 2.8% as well as increase the dividends paid by 23%. More and more members are opening business and MSB accounts. Despite MSB being a relatively new product for us, it has been very successful and helpful to members by saving their check cashing business that other banks were refusing to service. We appreciate the members’ cooperation in keeping their accounts compliant as required per regulations.
Last quarter, for the first time in our history, Pioneer’s assets reached $100M. However, it was short-lived as we closed our books for the year with total assets of $99M.
I am pleased to report that during a year of remarkable growth, Pioneer remained financially sound and strong Our commitment to quality and the values established by our credit union’s founding fathers is set securely on a firm foundation. At the same time, members’ loyalty and trust has always been instrumental in the success we have. I am extremely delighted to announce that we have made official moves to increase members’ borrowing capacities as we increase possible loan amounts to up to $100K per loan. Similarly, growing education costs have made us reconsider loan amounts. Students will soon be able to draw educational loans of up to $200K for a bachelor degree.
We appreciate the dedicated management team and employees who have contributed to our unwavering mission of exceptional member service throughout this busy and productive year. Together, we look forward to the continued success of our credit union.
With appreciation,
NAUSHAD ALI DHUKKAChairman
