Join our discussion groups to spark or contribute to a conversation. The benefits are endless!


Here’s a quick overview of some ways to get started:

  • Customize your profile and preferences. Upload a photo, so everyone can know who you are. You may forget a name, but you never forget a face! Also, Oftentimes members are chosen to be featured on the home page- but only members with an uploaded profile photo can be featured. 
  • Adjust your subscription settings. Visit the My subscriptions page to subscribe to the discussion groups you would like to join. Here you can customize how often you receive emails from your groups in real time, daily digest, or legacy. 
  • Start a conversation-in the discussion groups. Do you have advice, recommendations, or questions for your peers? Post a question and get comments back from your discussion group members. Collaborate will ensure quick and easy access to the most relevant/popular information. It’s the best one stop shop for sharing models and samples and collaborating with association peers.
  • Start networking-Find a member and connect. Use the member directory to build your professional contact list and reach out to other members directly. 

If you should encounter any problems, would care to offer suggestions, or have questions on rules and etiquette; please don’t hesitate to contact me. I hope that together we can help you share stories and receive advice and answers to your burning questions.

Your online community awaits you. It’s time to start collaborating!

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.
