Patelco Launches New Program to Reward Members

March 1, 2013 - PRLog -- Patelco Credit Union announced today that as a result of a strong 2012 financial performance, they will be offering discounts to those members who were with the credit union on or before December 31, 2012.

The program, called The Member Giveback, offers discounts on auto loan rates, and waiving of first mortgage lender fees and credit card balance transfer fees. Members are not limited to only one of the Giveback deals but can take advantage of all three, or even combine these offers with other rate reductions and discounts that Patelco offers.

“Our membership contributed to our outstanding success in 2012,” said Patelco President and Chief Executive Officer Ken Burns. “Therefore we want to fulfill our commitment to our membership by reinvesting our earnings into lower rates and fees for our member-owners, which is why we are launching this program.”

The Member Giveback runs through the end of 2013. To offer thanks to all members and not just those in the market for a loan product, Patelco will host regional Member Recognition events starting in May and running through October. These events include the chance to win $10,000 and giveaways of other cash and prizes. More information about The Member Giveback can be found on Patelco’s website – Patelco.org/Giveback (http://www.patelco.org/giveback).
