Here are a few of the highlights of 2014, another year of making Summit members’ lives richer: • As a cooperative, we saved our members $16.1 million in 2014 over for-profit financials in Wisconsin.1 That includes our board-approved payout of our first Cash Boomerang. On top of significant every-day savings to all members, Cash Boomerang was a $1.48 million member give-back based on how much members build the cooperative by checking, saving and borrowing with Summit. • We completed the welcoming of members from Veterans Administration Credit Union and Greater Milwaukee Credit Union. • We provided more than $1.1 billion in loans to members to help them reach their dreams. • We introduced multiple checking options to give you the best fit. It was a resounding success. We had 7,559 more checking accounts at the end of 2014 than the year before. • We launched Summit’s new mobile app and added remote deposit capture in April. By the end of 2014, over 26,600 members were using it to make managing money easy, including making more than 94,619 mobile deposits. 6 SUMMIT CREDIT UNION • • • • • We opened a new branch in Stoughton, a new mortgage loan office in Verona, started construction on a Waukesha location and have plans underway for future locations in Franklin and Muskego.

So were 2013 Project Money winners Stacey and Brandon Steinmetz. They found a way to spend $700 less a month on food by avoiding eating out and following the steps below. Their smart spending tips were included in articles by Elisabeth Leamy on ABCNews.com in 2014. Here is how they did it: tip 1. Set a grocery budget. The Steinmetz’s budget was $75 per week for their 2-person household. tip 2. Take inventory of the food you have at home to avoid unnecessary purchases and to help you make meal plans that use what you have. Scan store circulars and plan meals around the sale items. Besides saving money with the lower- cost ingredients, you’re likely to cook healthier, too. 2013 Project Money Winners, Stacey and Brandon tip 3. Consider the two-stop-shop strategy Stacey used: visiting a national chain for the bulk of her groceries and a local supermarket for deeply discounted weekly sale items. Stacey kept a list of local sale prices with her to compare. tip 4. Pay attention to unit prices to equalize and compare prices of items of different sizes. The savings are not always in the larger size items. tip 5. Shop for groceries with cash only. That way you can only spend up to what you have budgeted. Use your savings to spur more saving! In their seven months with Project Money, Brandon and Stacey used these and other strategies to decrease their debts by $29,982 and increase their savings by $14,402.

Among the highlights were: • Total assets grew by $121 million, to $2.08 billion. Our annual growth rate of assets was 6%. • Member savings increased by $85 million, to $1.75 billion, for an annual growth rate of 5%. Checking and savings account balances grew the fastest. • Loans outstanding to members grew by $192 million, or 14%. Our fastest-growing loan categories were mortgage loans, vehicle loans, and business loans. Our 2014 growth rates were higher than the average growth rates for credit unions nationwide. Our growth reflects our commitment to member service as well as our continuing efforts to offer rates and fees that are among the most attractive in our market areas. The credit union earned $97 million in total revenue during 2014. Our largest revenue source is loans to members. Our revenue was used to pay dividends on member accounts and also operating expenses incurred in providing services to members. 22 SUMMIT CREDIT UNION In 2014: WOW! Total assets grew to $2.08 BILLION Member savings increased to $1.75 BILLION Loans to members grew to $1.55 BILLION Our operating expenses for 2014 were smaller than what is typical for a credit union our size, and that efficiency allows us to return more to members while also building our capital base. Our credit union earned $24 million in net income after expenses, which was added to the credit union’s capital or net worth to provide additional financial stability and to fund future growth. Our ratio of net worth to total assets stood at a very strong 11.7% on December 31, 2014, up from 11.2% the year before. Summit Credit Union is well-positioned to continue providing high quality, affordable financial services to its members from a foundation of sound financial management.

The member agreed, and saved $30,000 and 20 years off of repayment as a result! When Summit saved a couple $591 a month for bringing their existing mortgages to one Summit mortgage, it was all in a typical Summit day’s work. A bit more unusual was the fact that the lender brought the papers to the members’ home for the signing because one of the members was in labor at the time. Contractions were every four minutes at the time of signing for all those savings! 26 SUMMIT CREDIT UNION Summit saved a young entrepreneur more than money. He was attempting to start a new landscaping business and was turned down by two banks because it was a start-up and lacked collateral. On the advice of a friend, he checked with Summit. We found a way to fund his business with a Small Business Administration (SBA) Express loan. He is doing well and has multiple big projects booked. A dream was saved. We consulted with a member on how they could restructure their home and credit card debts and they saved $47,000! One couple had several mortgages at another institution for over $106 thousand. We refinanced the mortgages, consolidated two vehicle loans, provided funds to bring delinquent taxes current, and set up a saving plan to help them avoid delinquent taxes in the future. At the same time, their monthly payments for the loans went down by over $1,070 per month and they will pay their mortgage off in just twelve years. The members were very relieved. $50 Visa gift card $50 cash when you open a new checking account with a Summit Visa Debit Card. with your next home equity line of credit or first mortgage loan at Summit. $25 50% Visa Off gift card with your next auto loan at Summit.
