Supporting Our Members’ Financial Journeys
At 3Rivers, we recognize that financial wellness extends beyond numbers and dollars—it’s about helping members achieve their goals, whether that means purchasing a home, starting a business, saving for the future, or simply gaining confidence in managing their finances.
Each of the thousands of loans generated in 2024 represents a story—of a family securing their first home, an entrepreneur expanding their business, or an individual consolidating debt to improve their financial well-being. Our locally based lending and mortgage teams continued to go above and beyond for our members, helping them to explore the best options for their financial needs, navigate the ins and outs of borrowing, and ensure they felt comfortable in their financial decisions.
Our members were heavily focused on saving in 2024, and we were happy to help make their money work harder for them. Our higher dividends on savings products helped members grow their deposits by over $25M in share certificates, over $9M in savings and money markets, and over $1.3M in checking accounts. We also paid out over $200K in cash back rewards to members using Cash Back Checking.
We’re proud of our members for focusing on all aspects of their wellness in 2024, with 330 opening Health Savings Accounts and 142 opening Individual Retirement Accounts in 2024
Additionally, we continued to deepen our focus on financial education, hosting and presenting at workshops and seminars throughout the communities we serve. Team members visited countless classrooms, local businesses and non-profits, and conferences in 2024, offering their expertise on a range of financial topics—including fraud prevention, business finances, homebuying, budgeting, and college funding. We partnered with several groups and organizations to offer these educational opportunities, including Junior Achievement, YFC City Life, Fort Wayne Community Schools, the YWCA, several local realtor partners, and more.
By equipping our members and our community with knowledge and tools that support their financial wellness, we empower them to make informed decisions that benefit them now and in the future.
