Save the Date: March 18, 2014 Annual Meeting Plan now to attend the credit union’s annual meeting. It’s your chance to review the past year’s accomplishments and ask questions. Be the first to learn about new products and service enhancements on tap for the future. Visit with the board of directors, credit union management and staff, as well as your fellow members. Enjoy refreshments, too. The annual meeting is a credit union tradition - one you likely won’t experience at a stock-held financial institution. Other financial institutions restrict attendance at their annual meetings to their executives, board members, and stockholders. But because your credit union is a financial cooperative, attending the annual meeting is one of your rights as a memberowner. It’s one of the many benefits of belonging to the credit union - we hope to see you there. Nomination Procedures for the 2014 Annual Meeting, March 18, 2013 The Nominating Committee for the 2014 Credit Union Annual Meeting was appointed in October 2013. The Committee filed its nominations with the secretary of the credit union on December 17, 2013. A brief statement of qualifications was included for each nominee submitted by the Nominating Committee. Nominations for vacancies may also be made by petition signed by 1% of the members. Each nominee by petition must submit a similar statement of qualifications with the petition. Nominations by petition must be filed with the secretary of the credit union at least 40 days before the annual meeting. There will be no nominations from the floor.

With nearly 30,000 ATMS and 5,000 CO-OP SHARED BRANCHES located nationwide and in twelve other countries, your money is readily accessible to you without any FEES! You can download the app for “CO-OP SHARED BRANCH” or “CO-OP ATM” to your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch or Android smart phone and find either a credit union or an ATM you can use with no FEES! To download the website for your computer, use www.allco-op.org. To use a CO-OP Shared Branch, all you need is your account number, a current government issued id and to know at the branch you choose that the credit union is listed as “Univ of South Alabama FCU.” You can make deposits, withdrawals or loan payments at any shared branch location. To use a CO-OP ATM, just locate an ATM in your area on your phone or computer!!! Make sure you have you’re USAFCU ATM/debit card and know your PIN. That’s all you need, simple as that, 24 hour access to your funds, FEE FREE!! Peace of Mind With our Courtesy Pay Program It happens to the best of us. We unintentionally write a check for more money than we have in our checking account, forget to record an ATM withdrawal, forget to note a debit transaction, or forget to note an automatic bill pay deduction. Whatever the reason, a check returned for non-sufficient funds (NSF) is both costly and embarrassing. Your credit union offers a Courtesy Pay Program that is not a line of credit. However, if you inadvertently overdraw your checking account, the credit union will have the discretion to pay the overdraft, subject to the limit of the courtesy pay program and the amount of the courtesy pay fees. If you are not on the courtesy pay program yet, call our member service representatives to ask how to qualify. Credit Union Loan Puts You in the Driver’s Seat If you’re concerned your current vehicle is no match for Old Man Winter, let a loan from the credit union put you back on top of your game. Interest rates have never been better on loans for both new and used vehicles. When you finance your wheels with the credit union, you have a lot more options than you do with dealer financing. At first glance the dealer rates can be appealing, but typically they are offered only on select models, often the slower-moving ones. And “not all buyers will qualify” - meaning the best rate may only be available to buyers with pristine credit records. When you get a pre-approved loan from the credit union, you can shop like a cash buyer. You can compare various makes and models across a number of dealers. Start your search online at sites like www.edmunds.com, www.kbb.com (Kelley Blue Book), www.autobytel.com and others. Check out the April issue of Consumer Reports magazine which includes the annual car buying guide. Armed with your loan from the credit union and your research, you’ll be in the driver’s seat. Happy New Year! From Your Credit Union
