Message from Amy L. Hysell,
Arizona Financial President & CEO
Third Quarter 2024
As we head into the second half of 2024, it’s an ideal time to review and assess if we’re on track with our personal goals for the year. How are you doing? If you have questions about your accounts, your credit score, or your financial goals, please reach out so we can help.
Forbes #1 best credit union in Arizona
I am thrilled to announce that your credit union has been recognized by Forbes as Arizona’s Best-in-State Credit Union for 2024. This prestigious award is presented by Forbes and Statista Inc., the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider. The ranking is based on an independent survey and publicly available reviews for each credit union.
We are very proud of this achievement and would like to thank our members for the trust they place in Arizona Financial.
Branch updates
Plans are in motion to add a new Chandler location next year. Please refer to our latest Credit Union News for more details and stay tuned for future branch announcements. We continue to look for other branch locations throughout metro Phoenix, and we’ll share more details as they become available.
Coming soon – Early Pay Deposit
With our continued focus on enhancing the member experience, we’re excited to announce that coming this fall, all Checking Plus Accounts will include Early Pay Deposit. This is a new feature that may give you access to your electronic/ACH direct deposits up to two days early! Watch your mail for more information.
Kelvin Smith Small Business Grant
Last year we announced the unexpected passing of long-time Arizona Financial board member Kelvin Smith. Kelvin served on the board for almost 27 years and was an African American small business owner and small business advocate.
In Kelvin’s honor, Arizona Financial recently awarded a $10,000 grant as part of Local First Arizona’s We Rise Demo Days. At the event held on June 24, six African American small business owners pitched their business plans to a panel of judges for a chance to be awarded the grant. Antoinette Mendez, owner of Mission 2 Transition, was selected as the recipient.
I was honored to be able to award this grant in memory of Kelvin, and the evening was especially meaningful as Kelvin’s children were in attendance to share in the celebration. Watch Video
