Celebrating Those Who Keep Our Communities Moving 7 17 Credit Union was proud to welcome hundreds of hardworking labor members, families, and friends to our Celebration of Labor at 7 17 Credit Union Park on September 4. The evening brought our community together to recognize the dedication, skill, and sacrifice of the men and women who power our region every day. From enjoying a night at the ballpark to exciting giveaways, including a chance to win a 2026 Ram 1500, the event was a meaningful way to say thank you to the workers who help build and strengthen our communities. As a credit union founded by the workers at Packard Electric in 1957, we were honored to celebrate labor. Photos: 1st Row: Left - the 7 17 trailer welcomes everyone outside the stadium.

President’s Corner A Season of Growth and Celebration As I reflect on the past several months, I’m filled with gratitude for the members, employees, and communities who continue to make 7 17 Credit Union stronger. We’ve experienced exciting growth this year, including the opening of our new Stow branch in July and preparations for our upcoming Streetsboro branch, expected to open later this fall. We’re also looking forward to the next step in our merger with Geauga Credit Union, with our operational systems conversion scheduled for November 2. We are excited to officially welcome Geauga members to the full 7 17 experience and expand our ability to serve more people across Northeast Ohio. While growth is important, what makes me most proud are the opportunities we’ve had to celebrate the people behind our success. At our 7 17 Day at the Mahoning Valley Scrappers, we had the privilege of honoring some of our legacy members. Their loyalty and support over the years have helped shape the organization we are today, and it was a special reminder that our greatest strength has always been our members. We also enjoyed a memorable Celebration of Labor Night with the Akron RubberDucks, where we recognized the hardworking union members and working families who helped build our region and whose values continue to align with our credit union mission. As we continue to grow, our purpose remains the same: helping people achieve financial success while strengthening the communities we serve. Thank you for being part of the 7 17 family. John E. Demmler Chief Executive Officer 7 17 Credit Union October 2026

As part of the enhancement, we modernized our card processing platforms, expanded access to more than 50,000 fee-free ATMs nationwide, and upgraded ATM infrastructure to support a better self-service banking experience. These improvements laid the foundation for future innovations while making everyday banking easier and more secure. On the credit card side, members began receiving upgraded cards featuring Tap-to-Pay technology and enhanced fraud protection. The transition also introduced expanded card management tools, giving members greater control over their accounts through mobile banking features such as transaction alerts, spending limits, card on/off functionality, and lost or stolen card reporting. Plus, for credit card users who previously had our ScoreCard Rewards, we now offer a simpler, more rewarding program where members can earn more on the purchases they make every day.

Upgraded ATMs: Investing in Your Security and Convenience We’re making investments to improve your banking experience by upgrading ATM surrounds and enclosures at locations across our network. These enhancements are designed to provide added security, improved accessibility and a more modern member experience. As each location is upgraded, the ATM will be temporarily out of service for approximately one week. Signage will be posted at affected ATMs to keep you informed throughout the process. As part of these improvements, we’re also transforming three existing ATMs into Personal Teller Machines (PTMs) at: • New Road
• Cornersburg
• Robbins Ave. in Niles
Think of a PTM as a micro-branch, giving you access to many of the services you’d typically visit a branch for, right from the machine. With the help of a live virtual teller, you can make deposits, withdrawals (including on lines of credit and cash advance), transfers, loan payments, and more, all with the convenience of extended access. These upgrades are another step in our commitment to bringing more banking convenience, technology, and service closer to where our members live and work. Stay tuned as we continue enhancing locations throughout our footprint. Federally insured by NCUA | Equal Housing Lender © 7 17 Credit Union. All rights reserved.
