UFCU Launches Mobile Branch to Enhance Inclusion and Access to Financial Services
The first of its kind in Central Texas, the new UFCU Mobile Branch takes financial products, services, education, and community support to underbanked communities.
新的UFCU移动支行是中德克萨斯地区的首创,将金融产品、服务、教育和社区支持带到未受到银行支持的社区。
AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, UFCU (University Federal Credit Union) kicks off its "Howdy Tour" and launches its innovative new Mobile Branch, the first of its kind in Central Texas. The UFCU Mobile Branch is focused on increasing access in traditionally underbanked communities.
2014年8月5日,德克萨斯州奥斯汀/美通社——今天,大学联邦信用合作社(UFCU)启动了其“Howdy之旅”,推出了其创新的新移动支行,这是中德克萨斯地区的首创。UFCU移动支行致力于提高传统未受银行支持的社区的接入能力。
A component of the company's ongoing efforts to provide access to capital, education, and resources, the UFCU Mobile Branch extends the credit union's financial products, services, and educational resources to geographical areas with limited or no banking presence, addressing critical issues of affordability and financial inclusion.
作为公司为提供资金、教育和资源的持续努力的组成部分,UFCU移动支行扩展了信用合作社的金融产品、服务和教育资源到地理上存在有限或没有银行存在的区域,解决了可负担性和金融包容性等关键问题。
The UFCU Mobile Branch will help bridge the financial services gap for Texas' unbanked and underbanked communities, which make up an estimated 24% of Texas households, by delivering vital financial services directly to underserved areas — in the neighborhoods where they live and work.
UFCU移动支行将通过直接向未受支持的地区提供重要的金融服务来有助于弥合德克萨斯州未开户或少开户社区的金融服务差距,这些社区占德克萨斯州家庭的估计24%。
Individuals without access to a credit union or bank are almost ten times more likely to use check cashing than banked households. The UFCU Mobile Branch enables Members to eliminate check-cashing fees while also offering ATM access, account set-up, starter and cashier's checks, instant-issue debit cards, money orders, fund transfers, loan and credit card applications, loan payments, notary services, and more. The UFCU Mobile Branch will also host educational seminars and feature bilingual staff to serve Spanish-speaking consumers.
没有信用合作社或银行帐户的个人使用兑现支票的可能性几乎是有银行户的家庭的十倍。 UFCU移动支行使会员能够消除兑现支票费用,同时提供ATM访问、帐户设置、起始和收银员支票、即时发行借记卡、汇票、资金转账、贷款和信用卡申请、贷款还款、公证服务等服务,还将举办教育研讨会,并设置双语工作人员为讲西班牙语的消费者服务。
By partnering with trusted community-minded organizations like Foundation Communities and Equidad, UFCU leverages its established relationships to gain a deeper understanding of the unique needs of the communities they serve. This collaborative approach rooted in long-term partnerships ensures that UFCU enters these areas with a genuine desire to learn, serve, and create effective solutions.
通过与Foundation Communities和Equidad等值得信赖的社区团体合作,UFCU利用其已建立的关系更深入地了解所服务社区的独特需求。这种根植于长期合作关系的合作方法确保UFCU以真正的渴望学习、服务和创造有效解决方案的愿望进入这些地区。
"Working with our community partners, we are committed to improving access to financial services for all Texans," said UFCU CEO and President Michael Crowl. "The UFCU Mobile Branch is a significant step towards addressing the financial barriers traditionally underserved communities face. We appreciate the support and trust of our partners and the community as we embark on this important mission to ensure a thriving Texas includes all Texans."
“与我们的社区伙伴合作,我们致力于改善所有德克萨斯人的金融服务获取能力,”UFCU首席执行官兼总裁迈克尔·克劳尔表示。“UFCU移动支行是解决传统未受服务社区面临的金融障碍的重要一步。我们感谢我们的合作伙伴和社区的支持和信任,因为我们开始了这项重要使命,确保蓬勃发展的德克萨斯州包括所有德州人。”
In addition to serving underserved areas, the UFCU Mobile Branch will support numerous UFCU efforts, including disaster recovery and community engagement events like local festivals, university sporting events, and partner endeavors. This presence at community gatherings underscores UFCU's commitment to meeting its Members where they are and fostering strong relationships with their community partners.
除了为未受服务社区提供服务外,UFCU移动支行还将支持UFCU的许多努力,包括灾难恢复和社区参与活动,如地方节日、大学体育赛事和合作伙伴事业。这种在社区聚会场所的存在强调了UFCU承诺在会员所在的地方与其会员会面,并与其社区伙伴建立牢固的关系。
"The UFCU Mobile Branch allows us to build relationships and establish trust within these vital communities as we expand access to financial services and promote financial education in a convenient, accessible, and welcoming environment," said Executive Vice President of Membership Chris Turnley. "We're thrilled to premiere the UFCU Mobile Branch, part of our overall effort to better serve and more deeply understand the needs of our community members."
“UFCU移动支行使我们能够在这些重要的社区内建立关系和建立信任,同时在方便、可访问和宜人的环境中扩大金融服务的接入能力和促进金融教育,”会员执行副总裁Chris Turnley表示。“我们很高兴首次推出UFCU移动支行,这是我们整体努力的一部分,旨在更好地服务和更深入地了解我们社区成员的需求。”
The unveiling event for the UFCU Mobile Branch took place on Monday, August 5, 2024. It featured a ribbon-cutting ceremony with UFCU executives and board members, community leaders, and elected officials, including US Representative Lloyd Doggett and Austin Councilwoman Vanessa Fuentes.
