\nAbout the Presenter: Carylin M elendez was born and raised in Puerto Rico. \; Though she studied to b ecome a teacher\, life took her down a different path\, banking. She has b een in banking for more than 20 years. Carylin enjoys helping people\, and her position as Financial Wellness Officer has allowed her to come full c ircle\, empowering and guiding Visions Federal Credit Union members and no n-members through their financial journey.
\nVisions Federal Credit Union was founded by eight IBM workers and 40 bucks. That&rsquo\;s right - five little dollars each in 1966 became more than $5.5 billion in assets today. \; In the decades that followed\, we&rsquo\;ve gradually grown to more than 250\,000 members served by nearly 60 branches in three states . We&rsquo\;re proud of that and everything credit unions stand for. \ ; Credit unions are not-for-profits owned by the members\, which means we work for them and not stockholders. When a credit union makes profits\, it goes right back to the members in the form of low interest rates\, smalle r fees\, and dividends. Plus\, our member deposits are federally insured\, and no member of a federally insured credit union has ever lost one penny of insured savings.
