Homestead Federal Credit Union Statement of Commitment

As a member-owned, not-for-profit, full-family financial cooperative, Homestead Federal Credit Union is committed to our members.  "People Helping People" is not just a philosophy, it is the way we conduct business.  We will uphold our fundamental responsibility to actively serve our members with respect and dignity.  We will be honest and fair in all dealings with members at all times.  We will endeavor to provide a range of low cost products and services to better serve our diverse field of membership.  We will continually seek ways to reach out to the unserved and underserved in our field of membership.  We will demonstrate the value of membership in Homestead Federal Credit Union in all facets of operations.

We will monitor and communicate our services to members in a meaningful way, so that members, potential members, legislators, regulators, and the community at large will better understand and appreciate the unique role that our member-owned, not-for-profit, financial cooperative plays in their lives.

We will put forth every effort to enable our members to improve their economic well-being and become financially self-sufficient and successful while maintaining long-term financial stability.  We will place high importance on consumer education and the teaching of financial thrift.

This statement is consistent with our credit union principles of "Not for Profit, Not for Charity, But for Service," and our philosophy of "People Helping People."
