CARING IS ALWAYS AT OUR CORE

Caring for and serving our members is at the core of everything we do at Suncoast. Our 2022 annual report is centered around our core values, the fundamental beliefs that drive us forward, allow our team to provide the best possible service to our members, and help us make a meaningful difference in the communities we serve.

Our compassionate team brings kindness and empathy to more than a million members, helping them live their best financial lives.

VALUES

Serving Others

Ode Chairman, Board of Directors

Kevin Johnson President and CEO

Thank you for another year of meaningful moments. In 2022, we experienced the true depth of our mission to help members live their best financial lives. There were moments of growth and celebration. There were also moments that challenged us, and moments of thoughtful reflection. But through it all, we remained committed to serving our members and our communities.

Our motivation comes from a deep-seated commitment to stay true to who we are as an organization. The founding principles at our core are what guide us, shape our every move, and keep us grounded in our beliefs. This year’s annual report shares those core values through the real-life stories of members and team members who live them every day.

From a financial perspective, Suncoast remains in a very strong position, ending the year with over $16 billion dollars in assets. Our board of directors continue to maintain a resilient financial structure that allows us to pass remarkable savings and extraordinary value on to our members.

With inflation impacting so many, our low-rate loans and higher yield deposits were more important than ever to help members save money. An incredible $7 billion in loans were funded in 2022 which translated to helping over 260,000 members gain access to money they need to help improve their daily lives. In fact, last year we were able to save members an average of $172 per household compared to the Florida average, according to research from the Credit Union National Association.

Our financial impact extends to every area of our members’ lives, from managing their

Zamir

daily finances, to securing their financial futures and even building wealth. In 2022 a new alliance relationship was established with LPL Financial, an industry leader in technology and support for financial advisors. This relationship provides our members broader advisory capabilities, enhanced digital tools, and robust mobile access to their investment accounts - anytime, anywhere.

We continued the commitment to helping members get the most from our products and services in many ways. We updated our digital services by providing a streamlined Open & Apply function that made it easier for members to open deposit accounts and apply for loans online or through our mobile app. We added personalized financial insights to help members save time and make informed decisions about their spending habits. We also incorporated automation across many areas of the credit union, using artificial intelligence and robotics to help improve organizational efficiency and member convenience, providing more value to our members.

Our financial achievements also help strengthen our ability to assist local communities through outreach, education, and support from the Suncoast Credit Union Foundation. The Pennies Add Up program donates two cents every time a member uses their debit or credit card. In 2022, a total of $4.4 million was given to help children in our local communities and a collective $40 million since the inception in 1990. We also provided a $500,000 grant to the Skills Center Collaborative in East Tampa, a multi-use facility that will provide education, health, and workforce readiness for local youth.

A memorable moment of note in 2022 was when Hurricane Ian barreled through the state in late September. Our team rallied in support of each other, our members, and the communities we serve. We donated $500,000 to Volunteer Florida in support of recovery efforts for Hurricane Ian.

even expanded our day of giving through the end of the year to make the biggest impact for the communities that were in need. We prioritized making a positive difference, volunteering a total of 18,246 hours in 2022.

Founded in the philosophy of people helping people, and as many people as possible, Suncoast was honored to earn the Juntos Avanzamos designation to help communities achieve financial independence. We also received $175,000,000 from the U.S Treasury’s Emergency Capital Investment Program which provides additional capital to help small and minorityowned businesses and low to moderate income consumers.

Living by our core values also provides us with a greater capacity to help members with their specific needs. The dedication our team puts into every interaction was reflected in a 98.41% member feedback score. It shows that our team members bring their heart and mind to work each day to ensure that our members feel cared for and supported throughout every step of their financial lives. Creating a positive difference also provides greater job satisfaction which is why Suncoast was selected as one of the Tampa Bay Times Best Places to Work.

On behalf of our board of directors, leadership team and entire staff, we’re proud to present our 2022 annual report where you will see our core values come to life and lead to countless accomplishments.

These pages are dedicated to you, in gratitude for being our members.

Zamir Ode Chairman, Board of Directors

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

SUPERVISORY COMMITTEE

The credit union operates under the laws of the United States of America and is a state chartered financial institution, which is regulated by the Office of Financial Regulation (OFR) for the State of Florida. Deposits are insured by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), an agency of the federal government. Examiners of both the OFR and NCUA make periodic examinations to ensure proper operation of the credit union.

The credit union’s Board of Directors appoints a Supervisory Committee responsible for safeguarding the credit union’s assets and protecting the interests of the members. In this capacity, we are pleased to present the 2022 report.

The committee engaged the certified public accounting firm of Moss Adams LLP to perform an independent audit. In the opinion of the auditors, the credit union’s complete set of

financial statements, which are not presented in the report, present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the credit union as of December 31, 2022 inclusive of the results of its operations and its cash flows. Furthermore, the committee meets monthly and reviews the work performed by the Internal Audit Department in financial and operational areas of the credit union.

Based on the above activities, it is the unanimous opinion of the Supervisory Committee that Suncoast Credit Union is financially solid and is being operated safely and soundly.

2022 HAS BEEN ANOTHER EVENTFUL YEAR FOR SUNCOAST CREDIT UNION

We experienced phenomenal growth during 2022, even with the challenges of a rapidly rising interest rate environment, persistently high inflation, and the impact of a major hurricane. In the midst of these economic and environmental challenges, we were able to expand our mission by growing membership at more than 10% during the year, bringing the total to over 1.1 million members. Our total assets exceeded $16 billion, an incremental increase of over $1 billion from the prior year, which equates to an overall 9% annual growth rate for the organization. We transferred $150 million to reserves, and significantly strengthened our capital position with $175 million in secondary capital awarded to us by the US Treasury.

It was a momentous year for lending. Outstanding loan balances surpassed $12 billion by year end, fueled by the record high annual loan growth rate of 20%. As the Federal Reserve aggressively raised rates throughout the year, members locked in our competitive rates. We funded over $7 billion in new loans to more than 260,000 members! Loan growth did slow toward the end of the year. However, the quality of the loan portfolio remains extremely healthy with under 1% of the portfolio currently delinquent or charged off.

Increasing our staffing levels was a high priority for the organization in 2022. Our growth rate over the last several years has outpaced our hiring rate and staffing levels needed to be increased to meet the needs of our members. Inflation and the tight job market drove up salaries and the continued low unemployment rate limited the number of candidates applying for positions. Ultimately, we were able to bring staffing levels up to meet our needs and we are well positioned for the coming year’s growth goals.

As we prepare for the potential economic uncertainty of the coming year, we are well positioned and ready to meet our members’ financial needs. The Suncoast Board of Directors, management, and staff all remain firmly committed to serving our members, improving their financial health and wellbeing, and supporting our local communities.

IT’S EASIER THAN EVER TO OPEN AND APPLY

Simplicity is the key to make banking work seamlessly into our members’ lives. One of our major digital banking enhancements of 2022 was streamlining our digital account opening and loan application processes to make it even easier for members to get what they need from anywhere, any time.

The Open & Apply feature delivers a quick, userfriendly experience for opening and applying for new deposit or loan products through our digital channels. Suncoast members are always in the driver’s seat of their financial futures.

At Suncoast, we treat people as people, not transactions, vendors or numbers. We always do what’s necessary to get things done because we know it’s not about us, it’s about others.

EMPOWERING PERSONAL INSIGHTS

In 2022, we launched a digital banking feature that offers our members personalized insights into their spending patterns. This financial feed is tailored to each member and offers predictive insights and recommendations.

Insights give our members spend comparisons and savings opportunities to protect, guide, and inform them. We’re so excited to offer this new way to empower members to make decisions that positively impact their financial goals.

LIFE-CHANGING LENDING

One of the most rewarding parts of working at Suncoast is helping people achieve their dreams of buying a home, owning a car, starting or growing a business. It’s an honor to support our members during the most pivotal moments in their lives.

TOTAL IMMERSION VIRTUAL REALITY CHEMOTHERAPY ROOM

Walking into a chemotherapy room can be a harrowing experience, especially for children. So instead of making a standard clinical room at the Golisano’s Children’s Health Center of Naples, they created a one-of-a kind space that lets pediatric cancer patients visit outer space, the beach, under the sea, and so much more.

The Suncoast Credit Union Foundation was honored to help fund the total immersion virtual reality chemotherapy room, helping young patients reduce stress and escape reality for a little, while going through chemo.

Aside from exploring the galaxy or an underwater sunken shipwreck, this space also allows patients to play games or watch movies. The room debuted in April 2022 and patients already love it!

Changing a scary experience into something positive for these children is a real gift. We’re so proud to have contributed to this project!

Watch our video to learn more about our partnership with Lee Health and check out the total immersion virtual reality chemotherapy room.

CONTRIBUTION TO KICKSTART THE HILLSBOROUGH SKILLS CENTER

The Suncoast Credit Union Foundation granted $500,000 to kickstart the Skills Center Collaborative, a multi-use facility in East Tampa that will level the playing field in education, health, and workforce readiness for young people in our community.

The funds will help with renovating and expanding a state-of the-art facility that will offer a unique service model, housing 5 experienced youth-serving organizations in a coordinated approach to leverage resources, programming, and funding. Plus, it is expected to create 180 jobs, serve 3,500 youth and make a $23 million economic impact on the East Tampa community.

We can’t wait to see this phenomenal program continue to develop and support Tampa youth!

The value and opportunities the program provides continues to receive appreciation from those in the education community as they work towards their financial goals.

“I’m one of those ones that 10 years ago started putting money in and didn’t know anything about what’s going on, this has revived me. Now when I have my appointment set up with the advisor I know the language to use and questions to ask.

“I’ve been extremely impressed with the financial and educational opportunities Educators Choice, powered by Suncoast Credit Union, provides. They take a very individualized, easy-to-understand approach to financial planning, a topic that honestly intimidates many people. Educators Choice has a very professional and responsive staff. The feedback I’ve received from everyone who has worked with them has been stellar. I’m very grateful we can offer their very necessary and comprehensive financial planning services to our members and staff.”

INTEGRITY

COMPASSION DURING HURRICANE IAN

During difficult times, members and employees can count on Suncoast. When Hurricane Ian was approaching Florida at the end of September, our team immediately sprung into action.

Before the hurricane made landfall, we waived nonSuncoast ATM fees and overdraft fees, plus increased ATM and credit card limits to make sure that members were able to have easy access to funds as they made their hurricane plans.

Then, to ensure that our employees were able to get to safety before the storm, we closed operations early for anyone in an evacuation zone on September 27th and closed operations for all employees on September 28th.

Our team came together after the hurricane passed to make sure our staff was safe and to get our branches back up and running so we could help our members get through Ian’s aftermath.

All of our staff were accounted for and safe within two days of the hurricane. Suncoast resumed operations the day after the storm for everyone who was safely able to do so. Within one week after the storm, we were able to reopen 72 of our 75 branches and all 75 locations were open within two weeks. (cont’d)

Giving our members the best of us requires uncompromising adherence to strong moral and ethical principles. At Suncoast, we’re trustworthy, dependable and can also be counted on to behave in an honorable manner.

Many of our members were impacted by Hurricane Ian, so we made sure to offer assistance once the storm was over. We provided loan extensions, offered mortgage payment assistance, and provided lifeline loans. Our mobile units visited areas without power to help members easily access cash and receive the services they needed.

Some of our Suncoast team members were also impacted by Hurricane Ian. Suncoast offered an employee disaster assistance program, offered generators to staff who needed them, and brought in crisis management and trauma specialists to support our team’s mental health.

Our entire organization came together to gather food and supplies for our team members who needed it. We even created childcare and family care spaces in our corporate offices so our team could get back to work knowing that their families would be taken care of.

Hurricane Ian was a challenge to our community and our team, but we came together to support each other and show how we are Suncoast strong!

SERVING MEMBERS WHO NEED IT MOST

In 2022, the U.S. Treasury awarded Suncoast Credit Union $175,000,000 under the Emergency Capital Investment Program (ECIP). These funds help us better serve the members who need it most.

As a certified Community Development Financial Institution, and the largest CDFI in the nation, Suncoast is dedicated to supporting those in need. The additional capital from the ECIP allows Suncoast to provide loans and grants to small businesses, minority-owned businesses, and low to moderate income consumers.

Low-income and underserved areas have been disproportionately impacted by the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, so these funds are an incredible tool to help bolster communities in need.

ONGOING FRAUD EDUCATION

In recent years, scammers continue to come up with new ways to try to trick people into losing their hard-earned money. Suncoast provides a safe banking experience, while also educating our members on how to protect themselves from fraud.

Through consistent touch points such as, email, social media, and blog posts our goal was to make sure members stayed informed, while providing proactive steps to help them safeguard their funds and personal information.

COMMUNITY MINDED

Collectively, our Suncoast team are active members of our communities. We positively impact the lives of others through our generous contributions and actions.

A STORY OF GIVING THAT COMES FULL CIRCLE

A special highlight in 2022 was a beautiful reminder of how we’re all connected in our support for our local communities. It started when Suncoast sponsored the 25th Anniversary of the Homes for the Holidays Celebration to support Warrick Dunn Charities, Inc (WDC).

This event was right up our alley, as this program empowers families to break the cycle of generational poverty and achieve a better quality of life through home ownership.

Sponsor donations help WDC to turn houses into homes for single parent families. The program surprises single parent families who are actively working to support themselves with home furnishings and down payment assistance.

As our community team sponsored the Homes for the Holidays Celebration, two new single mothers were presented with their new homes. As it turns out, the homes were built by a local minorityowned business contractor who won a bid in 2022 to build affordable homes in East Tampa.

In a beautiful turn of events, that builder’s financing for that same project also came from Suncoast! He worked with our business development and lending departments to get the funding for his affordable homes project.

To see two different departments, support different sides of the same initiative and help support affordable housing efforts was a gift we won’t soon forget!

CONTINUING OUR SUPPORT OF SOUTHEASTERN GUIDE DOGS

The extraordinary dogs from Southeastern Guide Dogs (SEGD) provide freedom and hope to people with vision loss, veterans with disabilities, and children with significant challenges. This organization provides life-changing services at no cost to the recipients, which is why we’ve been a proud partner for years.

In 2022, we once again had the honor of naming a new guide or service dog and we decided to let our members choose through a social media contest! The winning name was Denaro, which is Italian for “money.”

Our Community Impact team also took advantage of a special invitation from SEGD to bring members of our S.A.L.U.T.E. employee resource group to tour the campus to see where puppies are born and how they are trained. Our team also had a chance to step into the shoes of someone living in the shadows of blindness through a multisensory experience called Beyond the Dark.

The experience was life-changing for our team and proves the immense value that nonprofits like SEGD provide our communities.

“This was an amazing experience. As a veteran it was nice to see how much individual attention is provided to form the strong bond needed for trust. The commitment level shown not just for the wellbeing of the recipient but also the dog was exceptional.”

-Debra Steele

“SEGD’s Beyond the Dark presentation opened my eyes to the challenges of the visually impaired that I take for granted daily.”

-Matthew Kimball

“The pride, passion and care of the SEGD staff and volunteers definitely shows in every aspect of what they do on a daily basis. If you have not visited their facility or signed up for a presentation/tour, I highly recommend doing so to truly know what they do and how they help so many people.”

-Donna Moses
