President's column

A Message From Your President
2008 has been a challenge for the entire financial community. Despite the fluctuating U.S. economy, DFCU remains financially sound. Through the strategic vision of the Board of Directors, we have been able to sustain our growth by providing exceptional customer service to our members.
While faced with a lower rate environment, our investment rates remain above the national average. We strive to remain competitive, not only on investments but on lending rates as well. The staff looks forward to assisting you with any of your financial needs.
With the endorsement of Downey Unified School District, we have been able to reach out to the students. The Kirby Kangaroo Savings Account was introduced to elementary school children to emphasize the power of “saving”. Kari Johnson, our Business Development Representative, has been visiting the classrooms of approximately 1,500 students at Warren High School, addressing the topic of financial literacy. Through positive presentations, it is our goal to educate the youth of our community on sound financial choices.
As a cautious reminder to members, “phishing” scams are on the rise. As your financial institution, DFCU will NEVER contact you by e-mail or phone and ask for personal information. Legitimate financial institutions, companies, or government agencies will NEVER ask consumers to “verify” or “re-submit” confidential information such as account numbers, credit card numbers, Social Security numbers, passwords, or PIN (personal identification numbers).
Should you encounter someone asking for this information – STOP – rather than provide any information, contact the financial institution, credit card company or government agency directly to verify the validity of the message using contact information you have already in your possession. DO NOT USE CONTACT INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THE SUSPICIOUS CALL OR E-MAIL. We are continuously upgrading our security methods to protect your information. Please be careful with whom you share your information.
Financial safety, soundness and convenience are the cornerstone of our credit union. Keeping in mind the credit union philosophy of “People Helping People”, we continue to be there for you “Through All Stages Of Life”.
–Barbara Lamberth, President/CEO
