At Ascend, giving back to our members is a year-round commitment. From offering products that put more money in your pockets to our scholarship program and dividend return, we prioritize the financial well-being of those who bank with us. This year, Ascend is excited to announce we’re returning $3.5 million in dividends to members. But our dedication doesn’t stop there. In 2024, we also introduced new ways to give back, distributing an additional $4 million through innovative products like our Interest Earning and Rewards Checking accounts, which reward you with valuable monthly returns. This brings the total returned to Ascend members this year to over $7.5 million — keeping more of your money where it belongs: in your wallet.

As a not-for-profit credit union, we are proud to share our profits in many ways, including lower rates on loans and higher rates on deposits. Since 2005, Ascend has returned more than $116.5 million in annual dividends to members, demonstrating our ongoing commitment to share the success of the credit union with those who contribute to it. This year’s $3.5 million member return was distributed on November 15.

As we look ahead to next year, Ascend remains committed to finding new and impactful ways to give back and help you achieve your financial goals. The more you bank with Ascend — whether by using your Ascend debit card, increasing your deposit balances, or regularly making loan payments — the greater your potential return.

The 2024 return will appear on members’ November statements. Thank you for your continued membership!
