Credit union rewards members with patronage dividend

February 22, 2018

Tidemark Federal Credit Union recently rewarded its loyal member-owners with a patronage dividend. TFCU members who utilized multiple services such as checking, loans and investments found an extra $100 in their checking account Feb. 14, as a thank you for their loyalty.

Tidemark FCU CEO Pamela Fleuette said, "Our members cooperatively own this credit union, and each of these member-owners is a shareholder. After paying all operational costs, TFCU reinvests in its member-owners by offering additional products and services; expanding locations or maybe the hours; and now through returning a patronage dividend. It is just one of the many ways that our credit union stands out from other financial institutions. The more member-owners who utilize our full menu of services, the more value and benefits we can return to the membership; that's the cooperative spirit in action."
