Need More Revenue? NCOFCU Benifits Program

www.affinitymg.com
Dear Firefighter Credit Unions,

I am writing with news about a new partnership we recently forged with Affinity Marketing Group that will allow you to offer Member Benefits to your members, while also earning commissions on transactions and all at no cost to you.

Working with AMG, we are pleased to announce that you can offer Member Benefit programs with great savings such as MetLife Auto & Home Insurance and a number of Travel programs, including Wyndham Hotels, Avis/Budget Car Rentals, fun-in-the-sun Caribbean vacations through TNT Vacations, worldwide travel through GoAhead Tours and CruisesOnly, America’s largest cruise agency, offering thousands of cruises across over 18 cruises lines at the absolute lowest prices.  All are offered a la carte, so  you can choose to offer one, the few that work best for you, or all programs listed.

Member Benefits are an important way to attract new members as well as retain and reward your existing members in order to ensure a reliable source of revenue from dues.  And because all programs pay a commission to the group, Member Benefits are a great way to supplement your operating budget with a source of non-dues revenue.

We did a lot of homework on Affinity Marketing Group and were impressed with their experience and expertise in the area of Member Benefits.  Founded by nationally known pioneers of the affinity credit card industry, AMG has established over 4,000 marketing alliances with prominent associations and companies in their 20+ years in the business.

If you would like to learn more, you can contact David Miller (dmiller@affinitymg.com), copied here.  Or you can call him at 508-655-5101, ext. 223.  You can check out Affinity Marketing Group at www.Affinitymg.com. 

Best,

What Does PTSD in a Firefighter Look Like? A New Brain Scan Can Show You

Link Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is often described as one of the invisible scars that firefighters and others accumulate after years of dealing with trauma in their jobs. Now the scars are invisible no longer. A new tool—the SPECT scan—is offering a new way for firefighters and others with PTSD to visualize their injuries. SPECT stands for single photon emission computed tomography, and it creates 3-D scans of the patient’s brain that look at blood flow and brain activity, KTLA reports. Those scans can then be used to generate a treatment plan tailored to the specific patient based on the visual effects of PTSD. Retired Firefighter-Paramedic Matthew Fiorenza, a PTSD sufferer, told the station that the scans also help make the illness more tangible. “Looking at a picture of my brain, it just took the stigma out of it,” he told KTLA. “It’s like, okay, I’m not crazy.”

The Pros and Cons of Tariffs

Since there has been so much discussion on Tariffs, I felt a post would benefit our membership. Grant Sheehan CEO NCOFCU Tariffs 1440 Business & Finance Background A tariff—a word derived from the Arabic arafa, meaning “to make known”— is a tax imposed by a government on goods that are imported or exported . Historically, tariffs have served as a primary source of revenue and a means to protect domestic industries, as they make foreign products more expensive, encouraging consumers to purchase locally produced goods. The tools have a checkered history, famously bolstering US textiles, German steel, Japanese cars, South Korean technology, and more, arguably contributing to major economic downturns like the Great Depression. Tariffs can be specific (a fixed fee per unit) or ad valorem (a percentage of the item's value). Purpose Economically, tariffs aim to protect domestic industries, generate government revenue, and influence trade policy. By imposing taxes on imported goods —wh...

Advice On Winning Over Gen Z In ’25

NEW YORK—As 2025 approaches the close of Q1, how can credit unions win over Gen Z? By tailoring credit rewards for a digital-first generation, a new report recommends. Gen Z is reshaping the workforce and redefining financial behaviors. As of 2024, this generation is poised to surpass Baby Boomers in workforce size and will make up 30% of the workforce by 2030. This rapid growth presents a major opportunity for financial institutions to tap into a younger, digitally native audience with distinct spending habits and financial needs, emphasized a GlobalData report authored by Zachary Johnson, specialist, campaign execution & strategy, financial services at VDX.tv. “Unlike previous generations, Gen Z’s economic journey has been shaped by inflation and delayed career starts due to the pandemic and skyrocketing living costs. These factors have made them highly dependent on credit, with Gen Zers being 23% more likely to own a credit card than Millennials at the same age, and carrying...
