- Serve Our Members: Our purpose is to support members and their investment in community — when they thrive, we thrive. We are a steady presence that provides quick access to reliable liquidity for our members, helping them maintain legacies of economic stability. Because members’ jobs are challenging, we provide exceptional service with every transaction.

As team members, we are responsible to each other for our share of the work while exercising strong work ethic and individual accountability. Because we work as a team, we are rewarded as a team through shared incentive plans.

Our culture of inclusion allows our business partners to bring their true selves to work, helping us be top-notch creative problem-solvers and decision-makers. Diversity makes us stronger. Equity makes us better. Inclusion makes us whole.
