ANNUAL REPORT
Community involvement
Everything we do is deeply rooted in our people-before-profits philosophy, and that
includes spending our time, talent, and finances to support local nonprofits and events
that benefit our communities.
United Way’s SparkPoint
Genesys Works
In 2022, we partnered with United Way’s SparkPoint
centers, which help students and families meet
basic needs and build their financial capability.
Our Membership Development team provided
financial workshops along with one-on-one
coaching to help individuals gain the knowledge
they needed to build a better financial future.
We also shared our ScoreUp credit builder loan,
which helps people improve their credit score
while building their savings at the same time.
In a first-of-its-kind partnership, we teamed up
with Genesys Works to give paid internships to
students from ten Bay Area high schools and
two colleges. Ten students joined our call center
team, and two students are working with our
Technology team. These students are gaining
valuable experience in the working world, learning
new skills, and getting an inside look at how a
financial institution runs. In addition to the job
skills, the interns are also being trained with the
financial knowledge they need to build their own
financial wellbeing.
