The operation sees approximately 1,100 deposits a month from merchant capture, not yet including mobile, averaging $9,000 each. Users include property managers and homeowner associations, medical and dental offices, construction companies, and even some smaller credit unions that do their own banking with California Credit Union.

When Elevations Credit Union began entering into new market areas, the leadership team quickly realized the credit union needed to build market and brand awareness.

The NCUA produces quarterly financial performance reports (FPRs) using 5300 Call Report data provided by credit unions. The reports themselves are divided into six categories: capital adequacy, asset quality, earnings, asset/liability management, productivity,and growth (referred to by the NCUA as other ratios).

The report provides insight into a credit union’s health as the individual categories delve into safety and soundness metrics.

Katie Grindeland, TruStone’s director of marketingand communications, says the campaign drove a 245% increase in Twitter mentions and 50% increase in Facebook posts during its four-week run last December.
