FALL 2023

From the Desk of Cathy J. Pace

Strength in community.

While the financial wellbeing of our members is our top priority at all times, our commitment to the communities where members live and work is critical to the decisions we make regarding partnerships and philanthropy. We care deeply about community and believe that collaboration with other organizations helps the entire region grow and prosper. And that, of course, is good for all of our members.

We care about the things our members care about. We act on their behalf when we address community challenges like food insecurity, health and education. That’s why we support Cancer Services Incorporated, the Second Harvest Food Bank and other worthy causes.

Our newest partnership agreement offers tremendous opportunities to strengthen our community impact and benefit members for generations to come. Recently, we announced jointly with Wake Forest University that the home of the Demon Deacons football team would be known as Allegacy Federal Credit Union Stadium. With prominent signage and other amenities, the thousands of people who attend football games and other campus events and the millions of viewers who watch the games on TV will come to know Allegacy.

What Does the Wake Forest Partnership Mean for Our Members?

The Wake Forest partnership means that countless individuals and businesses will learn the distinctive

benefits of a credit union and how member-owned and member-driven organizations like ours can bring greater value to our communities. The Allegacy story is one of innovation and extraordinary service. As Allegacy grows its membership, we can provide even more options for our members with new solutions and conveniences to help them on their financial journey.

and its affiliated medical center, and we are helping the business school develop leaders who will serve our community for generations to come. Our partnership with the Wake family is grounded in shared values and a deep appreciation for the impact of education to positively transform lives and communities.

Our new partnership with Wake Forest is further demonstration of our shared commitment to the wellbeing of our Triad community. By providing financial education and wealth management advice to members of the Wake athletics community, we are helping to strengthen futures. Through other partnerships with the Wake family, we are providing credit union services to the employees of the university

When Wake Forest first approached us to discuss putting Allegacy’s name on its football stadium, we recognized the potential for two iconic and trusted organizations to exponentially expand our impact on hundreds of thousands of people across the Winston-Salem community and beyond. Together, we can move more rapidly and intentionally to advance our own goals of helping our members be their best selves and live their best lives.

Our new Indian Trail Financial Center is opening soon.

We’re growing!

Another Allegacy Financial Center in the Charlotte area is great news — and not just for new and future members around Indian Trail. Our growth benefits all Allegacy members. How?

Expanding our credit union provides greater access to banking and financial services in more areas where our members live or work. And even though we continue to evolve, our mission as a not-for-profit, member-owned credit union remains the same. So as we grow, we have more opportunities to invest in improvements and upgrades — like Interactive Teller Machines, digital tools and other services — designed to make every member’s financial life easier to manage.

Plus, the more we grow, the more we are able to give back in all of our communities.

Get pre-approved and be ready to roll.

It may be time to get that new ride. Fall has typically been one of the best times to buy. Here are some quick tips on how to get a better deal.

1. Do your homework. Use sites like Edmunds to read reviews and research pricing on the car you want.

2. Got a trade in? Know what it’s worth. Your existing vehicle could also be an advantage. Estimate its value at Kelley Blue Book or Carmax.

3. Decide if it’s worth the wait. Have your heart set on a specific color and options? It might be better to wait.

4. Get pre-approved for your auto loan before you visit a dealership so you’ll know exactly how much vehicle you can afford.
