NCOFCU Turning the Corner


Turning the Corner!

Dear Member,

NCOFCU is turning the corner in a true “not for profit" direction. The coalition formed in 2008, as a "not for profit", is moving in a direction to offer benefits to its membership in the true collaborative spirit.

As CEO, I am truly excited about this turn! I am looking forward to working with your board of directors in charting this course.

As most of you are aware, the National Coalition of Firefighter Credit Unions (NCOFCU) was formed for the purpose of promoting unity, cooperation and support among firefighter credit unions. Protecting and preserving the vision and purpose of firefighter credit unions is paramount to the continued success of the firefighter credit union movement. In order to achieve this, members of the firefighter’s credit union network joined forces in New Orleans in 2001 and have been meeting annually ever since. This network has continued to grow which lead to the development of the National Coalition of Firefighters Credit Unions Inc. (NCOFCU) a “not for profit" corporation. It is with this spirit in mind that moves us in our new direction!

Your board of directors have considered many ways in achieving the goals they have set. The following are just a few of the steps we wish to take;
  • A reasonable  corroborative dues structure which will allow all firefighters credit unions, their staff and volunteers,  to participate so as to receive the many benefits to be offered by NCOFCU.
  • Another way of achieving these goals is to internally host an annual conference. This will allow the coalition in the true “not for profit” collaborative spirit to maintain, reasonable registration fees, scholarship funds and daily attendance schedules, so that the staff and volunteers of all firefighter credit unions can participate. 
  • Seeking contributions from credit union leagues, government agencies, corporate and private sponsors to assist in NCOFCU’s “not for profit” collaborative effort to educate the staff and volunteers of firefighter credit unions as to managing their member’s assets.
We want you to feel comfortable in knowing that, like your credit union, your investment in the coalition will in the true cooperative spirit, be returned to the membership!

Grant Sheehan CEO
National Coalition of Firefighters Credit Unions Inc. ( NCOFCU )

Mortgage Rates Tick Down

MCLEAN, Va.--Mortgage rates moved slightly lower this week, with the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaging 6.56%, Freddie Mac reported. “Mortgage rates are at a 10-month low,” said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s chief economist. “Purchase demand continues to rise on the back of lower rates and solid economic growth. Though many potential homebuyers still face affordability challenges, consistently lower rates may provide them with the impetus to enter the market.” The 30-year FRM averaged 6.56% as of Aug. 28, down from last week when it averaged 6.58%. A year ago at this time, the 30-year FRM averaged 6.35%. The 15-year FRM averaged 5.69%, unchanged from last week. A year ago at this time, the 15-year FRM averaged 5.51%, Freddie Mac said. ____________________________________________ Check out NCOFCU's additional features: First Responder Credit Union Academy Podcasts YouTube Mini's Blog Job Board

04/08/2024 09:04 pm By Ray Birch LAKE FOREST, Ill.—The trend lines don’t lie: Financial institutions charging high overdraft fees will likely face operating challenges in the near future and may even be forced to merge if they don’t follow the market trend of lowering their OD charge. Michael Moebs, economist and chairman of Moebs $ervices, is offering that forecast following his company’s new overdraft study, which has found overall net OD revenue for 2023 was down 5.7%, with banks dipping by 8.1% to $31.4 billion, thrifts falling by 28.6%. and credit unions actually increasing net revenue 2.2%. The study further reveals the m...

Andrew Pilecki, the current fire chief of Wendelville Volunteer Fire Company, has been re-elected to the board of directors of the Firefighters Association of the State of New York.
