Growth trends
Earnings
Loans
Shares

Net interest margin
SAS Initiatives Account

The LSCU board of directors has approved funding for the SAS Credit Union Initiatives Account Program, available to all affiliated credit unions $50 million in assets or less. The LSCU has created an account in your credit union’s name in the amount of $500 to use toward the purchase of any LSCU, LEVERAGE, or a America's Credit Unions product and/or service including:

LSCU Strategic Planning Sessions (contact your Member Engagement Consultant for details)
LEVERAGE Products (LSCU Service Corp.)

To utilize SAS Initiatives Account funds, simply notify your Member Engagement Consultant. You may also note that the invoice is to be paid from the SAS Initiatives Account upon receipt for events/services used. LSCU accounting staff will keep track of expenditures from your account.

The SAS Initiatives Fund was approved based on the LSCU’s 2019 budget and will be re-evaluated each year as part of our budget process. Unused funds in your account cannot be rolled over or transferred to other credit unions. This money must be used by Dec. 31, 2019 and cannot be accessed until your credit union’s 2019 LSCU dues have been paid. Credit unions who receive a dues waiver are not eligible for the SAS Initiatives Account program.
