Message from Amy L. Hysell,
Arizona Financial President & CEO
Fourth Quarter 2026
As we approach the end of another year, I’m reminded of what makes Arizona Financial so special: the difference we can make when our members, employees and community partners come together to support the places we call home.
Make a difference with every purchase
One of my favorite examples is our Local Causes debit card giveback program. Recently, the Arizona Financial Foundation awarded $400,000 in grants to local nonprofits whose work is making a meaningful difference in communities across the state. These grants are made possible in part by something many of our members do every day: use their Local Causes debit card.
Every time you make a purchase with your Local Causes debit card, Arizona Financial makes a donation to the Foundation to help fund these community grants. It’s an easy way to support organizations doing important work in our communities, at no additional cost to you.
If you’re looking for another way to give back before year-end, you can also make a tax-deductible donation1 to the Foundation at ArizonaFinancial.org/Foundation.
Free financial education in the community
Giving back also means helping kids, teens and young adults build a stronger financial future. That’s why financial education is such an important part of the credit union’s mission. Through programs like Bite of Reality, young people have an opportunity to learn important money-management skills through a fun, hands-on experience. If you know of a school or organization that could benefit from a financial education program, visit AZCreditUnions.com to learn more and request a workshop.
Happy holidays from your credit union family
As the holidays approach, I want to thank you for your membership and for trusting Arizona Financial to be part of your financial journey. Your support allows us to do more for our members and the communities we serve.
From all of us at Arizona Financial, we wish you and your loved ones a joyful holiday season and a happy, healthy New Year.
With gratitude,
Amy L. Hysell
