As we say goodbye
to 2018 and
welcome in a new
year, it's customary
to take time to
reflect on past
accomplishments.
I could highlight
our explosive
membership growth or the national and
international awards we received. I could
list the various products and services we
introduced last year that give our members
added value and increased benefits for
their membership.
I'm always happy to talk about our
wonderful community partnerships and
sponsorships, such as the partnership
with e Catalyst Center for Business
& Entrepreneurship and Neighborhood
Concepts to offer business microloans in
amounts from $5,000 to $25,000.
ese, and many more accomplishments,
helped Redstone have a successful 2018.
However, giving back to our members
is what makes us stand out from other
financial institutions.
In 2017, Redstone gave $33.7 million back
to our members in the form of dividends,
reduced HELOC fees, reduced mortgage
fees, and other promos and giveaways.
By the end of October 2018, we had already
given back 52.59 percent of our budgeted
net income. Once we have reviewed all
of our 2018 givebacks, we believe those
numbers will be much higher than last year.
Additionally, our employees broke their
previous years' record for United Way giving
– contributing more than $225,000.
