CHAIR AND PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE LET’S TALK ABOUT CHANGE

Change is inevitable. It’s necessary. Change is how we grow and innovate. It’s how we advance our purpose. But change can also be stressful when it takes us away from the known and out of our comfort zone. It means learning to do things differently, and that can sometimes be a little challenging, or even intimidating.

LAPFCU recently went through a major technological change. To ensure you continue to receive the modern banking experience you deserve now, and in the future, we upgraded our core transaction processing software. This is, essentially, the underpinning technology that powers our Credit Union. The nearly two years of work that went into this in the background while maintaining business as usual in the foreground certainly took us out of our comfort zone. But our team’s dedication to our mission and our members propelled them forward. To their credit, they embraced change.

We know that some members were impacted by this change – and we do acknowledge that some of you may have encountered temporary inconvenience – but it was a necessary step on our path to innovation, growth, sustainability, and ensuring that we remain relevant to our members. Our previous system simply didn’t have the efficiency and compatibility needed to meet members’ ever-evolving needs.

To get the latest information about our recent system upgrades and answers to many of your questions, you can go to lapfcu.org/upgrade. Of course, you can also always visit any of our branches or call us at (877) 695-2732 for personal assistance, too.

The upgrade supports our goal of staying ahead of the competition, providing more customized services and conveniences, and ensuring we continue to deliver the modern banking experience that you deserve. You may

not notice an immediate difference because, initially, most of the resulting improvements are behind the scenes. However, in the months and years to come, members will reap the benefits of this upgrade. In fact, we look forward to sharing more information about this with you soon.

In the meantime, sticking with the topic of upgrades, we also wanted to let you know about a few other changes that have either already taken place or are in progress:

n Upgrading our entire fleet of ATMs

n Remodeling our branches and offices

n Introducing more accounts and loans exclusively designed for our members

n Expanding into surrounding counties, to help improve the financial lives of more people in the law enforcement community

These are just a few examples, and we’re not done yet by any means. We’ll always continue to change with the times in anticipation of meeting your future needs. So, please watch for more enhancements to come! With our new system in place, we’re extremely excited about the many things we’ll be able to do for our members. But rest assured: though there may be changes, we’ll always remain rooted in our values and purpose of serving the law enforcement community.

We sincerely thank you for your continued support, loyalty, and participation in your Credit Union. Without your help and patronage of this member-owned, notfor-profit cooperative, we couldn’t advance our mission of improving the quality of life of law enforcement professionals and their families. It’s truly our privilege to serve you, and we thank you for being part of law enforcement’s premier financial services provider.
