Firefighters First Credit Union has announced it is paying a year-end bonus to members of $2 million.


LOS ANGELES–Firefighters First Credit Union has announced it is paying a year-end bonus to members of $2 million.
Since 1981, the credit union has returned more than $46 million to members.
Firefighters First Credit Union said it rewards its members for having a strong engagement with the credit union, saying deeper membership engagement via investment accounts, insurance policies and business loans is greatly welcomed and an active growth strategy. “It is rare to find an organization today that shares any percentage of their profits. However, at Firefighters First Credit Union, this is part of our foundation. While many credit unions have ceased sharing their profits, we feel strongly about giving back to our members to help improve the financial lives of our Fire Family,” said President/CEO Dixie Abramian. “At the discretion of the board of directors, it is an important part of our tradition. The payouts vary based on member relationships – if you have a mortgage or a money market with us, your member payout will be much higher than if you have only an auto loan.”
Firefighters First said it continues to focus on providing terrific service to members, especially with a national expansion strategy now underway. The credit union currently serves approximately 544 fire departments nationwide.
Payouts represent a rebate on the interest paid on loan accounts and a bonus on the earning on savings accounts, the credit union said.
More information on the payout, including a video, can be found at: www.firefightersfirstcu.org/payout

Sunday Reading - 401(k) plans, explained

  Worker Nest Eggs       401(k) plans, explained Originally intended for corporate executives, the 401(k) is now, arguably,   the most famous section of the US tax code   and a staple in worker benefits packages and personal finance guides ( watch 101 ). Roughly 70 million Americans, with a total of more than $7T invested , use these long-term, tax-advantaged accounts to build toward a more secure retirement. Some critics claim that with 401(k) plans, companies offloaded the risk of retirement savings to workers without the training to avoid volatile portfolio mixes. Amid the 2008 financial crisis, many 401(k) plans lost over a quarter of their value , an event that hit those near retirement particularly hard. ... Read our full explainer on the plan...

Fed Gets Green Light for Interest Rate Cuts as Unemployment Rate Jumps to 4-Year High

The Federal Reserve is now seen as likely to   cut interest rates   multiple times before the end of the year, following another weak jobs report that showed unemployment jumping to a four-year high. The U.S. economy added just 22,000 jobs in August, less than economists had expected, the  Bureau of Labor Statistics  reported Friday. The unemployment rate rose to 4.3%, up slightly from 4.2% in July but hitting the highest level seen since October 2021, when the economy was still recovering from pandemic-driven layoffs. Although the new jobs report was troubling news for the economy, for prospective homebuyers with secure jobs it likely means further easing in  mortgage rates  in the days to come. Mortgage rates hinge primarily on the yields of  10-year Treasury notes , which plunged Friday to their lowest level since early April, when President  Donald Trump 's Liberation Day tariff announcement sparked panic in financial markets. It signals furth...

The Federal Reserve and How it Works

  The Federal Reserve       Background No institution wields more power in US finance than the Federal Reserve—but opinion polls indicate most Americans  don’t know  what it does. Known casually as “the Fed,” the century-old independent central bank sets interest rates, determining how much ordinary people pay for mortgages, car loans, and more, all to achieve its dual mandate of price stability and maximum employment ( read 101 ). Consisting of a central board of governors working in tandem with 12 regional banks, the Fed also manages the US money supply and acts as the lender of last resort. The Origins of the Fed Throughout the 19th century, the US faced  periodic economic downturns , which resulted in financial panics. Customers raced ...
