2024 ANNUAL REPORT / 2024

President's Report

Dear Members, Employees, and Partners,

As we close the chapter on 2024, I am honored to share this annual report celebrating our achievements, resilience, and unwavering commitment to our mission.

Despite uncertain economic times, Ukrainian Federal Credit Union has navigated challenges with strength, innovation, and a steadfast focus on our community. Our culture supported by our mission and values remain unchanged: We care about our members and employees and strive to continuously improve our daily financial banking relationships.

STRONG PERFORMANCE IN AN UNCERTAIN ECONOMY

The financial landscape in 2024 presented hurdles for many, yet Ukrainian Federal Credit Union has continued to grow and serve our members effectively. Thanks to prudent fiscal management, strategic investments, and our dedicated team, we have achieved positive financial results while maintaining stability for our members. From deposit growth to strong lending practices, we have ensured that our credit union remains a pillar of trust and support.

завдяки силі, інноваціям і незмінному фокусу на нашій спільноті. Наша діяльність спирається

A CULTURE OF CARE AND COMMITMENT

At the heart of our success lies our caring culture— one built on a deep commitment to our members and employees. Every decision we make, every service we offer, is rooted in our mission to empower and uplift our community. Whether providing personalized financial guidance or fostering a workplace that values and supports our employees, Ukrainian Federal Credit Union continues to strengthen its foundation with compassion and integrity.

INNOVATION & EXCELLENCE IN MEMBER EXPERIENCE

Our pursuit of continuous financial innovation has never wavered. This year, we introduced new digital banking features, enhanced security measures, and streamlined customer interactions—all designed to improve convenience and accessibility for our members. Our commitment to service excellence ensures that every member receives the best financial tools and resources to build a prosperous future.

STRENGTHENING COMMON BONDS ACROSS OUR 14 BRANCHES

The unity of our branches and the communities we serve remain central to our mission. Through outreach programs, member events, and initiatives that reinforce our common bonds, we have strengthened connections across all locations. We are more than a financial institution: we are a family, dedicated to supporting each other and fostering growth for all who rely on us.

LOOKING AHEAD

As we step into 2025, our promise remains unchanged: to uphold the values of trust, care, and innovation that define Ukrainian Federal Credit Union. We will continue to adapt, grow, and strengthen our financial and social impact—ensuring that every member benefits from our commitment to excellence.

On behalf of our board, leadership team, and employees, thank you for your continued trust and support. Together, we move forward with confidence, ready to embrace the opportunities that lie ahead.

Sincerely,

CEO Report

It is my privilege to present the 2024 CEO Report for Ukrainian Federal Credit Union, reflecting both the challenges we faced and the progress we achieved. This year tested the financial services sector in unprecedented ways, yet our credit union demonstrated strength, adaptability, and unwavering commitment to our members and mission.

The rapid and sustained increase in interest rates compressed our net interest margins, while higher funding costs placed additional pressure on earnings. Simultaneously, 2024 continued a prolonged recession in the trucking industry, leading to a spike in loan delinquencies. This required increased loan loss provisions and a more determined approach to loan servicing and workout strategies.

Despite these headwinds, UFCU remained focused on prudent financial management, member support, and digital innovation.

Our loan department and branch employees processed 1,767 new loans in 2024, totaling nearly $66 million.

We remain dedicated to supporting newcomers in building a secure financial future, offering tailored products such as starter credit cards, secured loans, and Ukrainian-language support services.

Recognizing the need to modernize and remain competitive, 2024 was a year of strong investment in digital transformation and information security.

n Strengthening fraud detection and response protocols amid rising industry-wide cyber threats.

n Expanding the use of digital communication and marketing channels to improve member engagement and service delivery.

We will continue refining our loan portfolio strategy, expanding our digital ecosystem, and investing in staff development to meet the demands of our growing footprint.

We understand that in today’s complex environment, resilience and innovation must go hand-in-hand. Our leadership team is committed to adapting swiftly and strategically to ensure UFCU’s long-term strength.

GRATITUDE AND COMMITMENT

Treasurer's Report

It is my honor to present the Treasurer’s Report for the Ukrainian Federal Credit Union (UFCU) for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.

Despite a year marked by persistent economic headwinds and global uncertainty, UFCU continued to uphold its strong financial foundation. Our focus remained steadfast on preserving the safety of our members’ assets, maintaining overall financial stability, and enhancing the services we offer. I am pleased to report that 2024 was another year of steady growth, prudent management, and impactful community engagement.

As of December 31, 2024, UFCU's total assets reached $396 million, reflecting a 1.5% increase from the previous year. This moderate but consistent growth underscores the trust and continued commitment of our members. On the lending front, UFCU had $347 million in total loans outstanding, representing a 2.9% increase over the prior year. These loans were diversified across several categories: 62% were residential loans, 12% were truck loans, 10% were consumer loans, 8% were church loans, and 7% were commercial loans. Our loan delinquency rate remained low at 1.1%, illustrating the effectiveness of our responsible lending practices and sound risk management strategies.

Member deposits grew by 3.5% to a total of $351 million, signaling both stability and increasing confidence in UFCU’s ability to safeguard and grow member assets. Our membership also grew to 28,708 individuals, a 5.3% increase that highlights our ongoing relevance and outreach within the Ukrainian-American community and beyond.

From a financial performance standpoint, UFCU concluded the year with a net income of $8,928. This positive result allowed us to reinvest in critical areas such as service enhancements, technology upgrades, and our ongoing community initiatives. Our capital position remains strong, with total net worth reaching $31.7 million. With a net worth ratio of 8.02%, UFCU continues to exceed the National Credit Union Administration’s benchmark of 7% for “wellcapitalized” institutions, affirming our enduring financial strength and resilience.

In 2024, UFCU achieved several important strategic milestones. We successfully launched a new mobile banking application featuring improved security, Zelle integration, and multilingual accessibility, enhancing the digital banking experience for our diverse membership. Our commitment to community support remained a priority as we expanded humanitarian aid initiatives for Ukraine and increased our involvement in local Ukrainian-American programs.

We also reinforced through our UACF Foundation our dedication to youth and education by awarding 20 college scholarships and introducing new programs focused on youth savings and financial literacy, preparing the next generation for financial success.

On behalf of the Board of Directors and our dedicated staff, I thank you—our valued members—for your continued trust and loyalty. As we move forward, UFCU remains deeply committed to our mission of financial empowerment and cultural unity, serving the needs of the Ukrainian-American community with integrity and care.

Report from the Community Relations Committee

Since 1953, Ukrainian FCU has been dedicated to supporting its membership-based common bond organizations. The first UFCU common bond s were the Ukrainian National Association (UNA) and Ukrainian Fraternal As sociation (UFA).

In the early 1980’s, UFCU leadership began expanding and growing UFCU common bonds to include churches and community organizations, first in Rochester, NY and since 2000 in multiple states across the USA coast-to-coast. Firmly believing in building and sustaining strong community ties, UFCU actively sustained the cooperative mission of “People Helping People” through volunteerism, financial education, community outreach programs, and donations to UFCU common bond churches, charitable, educational, civic, and cultural organizations. In 2010, UFCU established the Ukrainian American Community (UAC) Foundation in support of its charitable outreach.

In 2024, UFCU continued to grow its common bond membership base and now includes over 100 churches and organizations across the USA. In coordination with its UAC Foundation, UFCU provided over $140,000 in community support, scholarships, humanitarian

and cultural initiatives in 2024. UFCU also assisted Ukrainian Consuls with onsite services at various branch locations.

In 2028, UFCU will reach a special milestone - its 75th Anniversary with its mission - “to help our members and our community achieve financial success by providing them with the highest level of personalized service” and vision “to be the financial provider of choice for our members and one of the leading Credit Unions in the USA”.

Report from the Supervisory Committee

This past September 2024, the Ukrainian Federal Credit Union (UFCU) Board appointed its Supervisory Committee for the coming year. The board reappointed three regular past- committee members and the committee chair for another term.

George Hajduczok was reappointed as chair, while Vasiliy Gritsyuta, Nicolas G. Boberskyj and Ihor Levkiv continue their service to the committee. The Supervisory Committee also welcomes our newest member, Tania Laba. Originally from Rochester, Tania has been with the Selfreliance Federal Credit Union in Chicago for thirtysix years where she ascended to Vice President of the Lending Department. She recently moved back to Rochester and graciously volunteered to serve on our committee. We welcome Tania and look forward to her participation. We always welcome volunteers to serve on our committee from any of our branches, so if interested, please do not hesitate to contact me or a Board member.

The committee held its own separate meetings as noted in the committee minutes and met with the board during the year virtually or in person. The plan of work was completed and all communications and prescribed written reports were posted to the secure UFCU Basecamp page to ensure that UFCU is compliant with the Federal Credit Union Act, the rules and regulations of the NCUA, and UFCU’s own by-laws.

The Supervisory Committee conducted a thorough and recurring set of audits throughout the past year that show the Credit Union currently is financially strong and well managed. The committee audit responsibilities included contracting with an Internal Auditor to establish an audit rotation of key areas and submitted reports on compliance requirements for the Credit Union. The results of the Bank Secrecy Act audit and several other audits were reviewed as positive for both our internal and external network controls and information security. The internal audit review process continued on schedule and has provided management and the board with significant feedback about the policies and procedures in place to maintain our member security.

For the year ending 2024, the auditing firm of Bonadio & Co. LLP, served as an external auditor to review UFCU’s financial statements. The Credit Union received an unqualified opinion statement from the external auditors during the year, and the committee was provided a statement that the yearly verification of member accounts had been

performed. The recommendations of the yearly audit were formally submitted to UFCU management, and the committee followed up with management for responses to the recommendations stated in the audit. The results of that audit stated that the overall quality of the Credit Union’s financial reporting was presented fairly in all material respects and conformed to the accounting principles generally accepted (GAAP) in the United States of America.

In addition to reviewing all the professional audits, the Supervisory Committee also conducted quarterly closed accounts reviews in conjunction with COO Tanya Dashkevich. The committee has maintained open lines of communication to resolve member concerns and correspondences through a separate mailing address and a published member-contact, online address. The committee again was able to fulfill the assigned fiduciary responsibilities in a timely fashion and is giving its full support to the current board and management. The Supervisory Committee stands ready to aid in the resolution of any member inquiries that may arise during the 2025 calendar year.

branches find new homes to better serve our members

In 2024 we relocated our Portland, OR branch to Clackamas, OR. In June 2025, after over 30 years in Tipperary Hill – an Irish neighborhood mixed with Ukrainian roots – we moved our branch to the village of Camillus, NY and just 4 miles west of our previous location (pictured below). Both relocations were completed out of the desire to both optimize our retail space and elevate our level of service to our members. Both branches were fully renovated to meet the standards of modern day banking, and to support our growth as we look to the future. While the locations may have changed, our commitment to service and to our members in each respective area remains constant. Please visit us!
