CEFCU shredded and recycled over 255,481 pounds of paper in 2011. This saved an estimated: 2,170 trees; 894,176 gallons of water; 523,734 kilowatt-hours of electricity; and 58,759 gallons of oil. Plus, we’ve eliminated the printing of approximately 6 million report pages over the last two years by converting numerous internal paper reports to secure electronic documents and distribution. In addition, our two most recently constructed Member Centers were built to be Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certified. 5 CEFCU can no longer obtain Presidential $1 Coins, because these coins are no longer being distributed through Federal Reserve Banks. In early 2012, the U.S. Government announced a halt in production of any new Presidential $1 Coins for circulation, due to lack of demand; the U.S. Treasury reported 1.4 billion surplus $1 Presidential Coins in Federal Reserve vaults. Any new or existing coins will now only be available through the United States Mint. the TELLER INSIDE |2| Visa Transaction Alerts |3| Investment Service to Help You Plan for Your Future |4| My Save Certificate |5| Well Kept and Clean Cars Worth More |6| You Could Win an iPad® H O L I D AY S All CEFCU offices will be closed on: Labor Day Monday, September 3 Third Quarter | 2012 Congratulations Diamond Anniversary Drawing Winners! What a week it was in early June for CEFCU® Members Brent and Sara Fox! Brent’s name was selected as the winner in our special 75th Diamond Anniversary Drawing, receiving a .75 carat diamond valued at $3,200. Then, a day later, Brent and Sara celebrated the birth of their first child! “I really wasn’t able to get her much when we were engaged and then married,” said Brent. “Now, to find ourselves here as the winners, it’s really pretty neat.” “I’m afraid I didn’t act very excited when I was initially called,” he continued. “After the call, it became real, and I started thinking ‘Wow, the baby and then this — what a week!’ We’ve certainly been blessed.” Brent joined CEFCU in 2004. “I really appreciate the service, especially at the Northpoint and Chillicothe Member Centers when we lived in that area,” Sara stated. “Everyone is so friendly. If they don’t always recall a name, they always recognize you and make you feel welcome. CEFCU was also very helpful when we were searching for a loan.” Brent added “We checked some other places during that time — primarily to check rates — but quickly learned CEFCU was so much better.” Congratulations Brent and Sara! Congratulations also go out to Joel Meints, who received a $750 Visa Gift Card as the second prize winner in the drawing. Thanks to everyone who entered.

Why should you? E-alerts provide up-to-the-minute notices on your CEFCU Visa Credit Card activity, as demonstrated from this member’s recent experience: I was out hiking when I received a text message stating my Visa Credit Card had been approved for a gas purchase. It seemed strange. About an hour later, I received another message that my card had been declined… and I KNEW something was up. So I called CEFCU. A representative confirmed my card had been counterfeited — probably stolen from one of the merchants where I used it. The rep immediately blocked the card and ordered a new one right away. I was very grateful for the help. Needless to say, I set up alerts on my new card as soon as I got it! From Dunlap, IL; Member since 1995 With e-alerts on your CEFCU Visa Credit Card, you’ll enjoy added peace of mind.

CEFCU at 75 Years It started in May 1937, while the country was still recovering from the Great Depression and the average, hard-working person found it extremely difficult to get credit. A group of employees at Caterpillar Tractor Company got together, wanting to help co-workers who were unable to borrow money at a reasonable interest rate. So, they pooled their money and formed a Credit Union. Borrowers helped savers earn a better dividend rate, and savers made affordable credit possible for borrowers. By the end of that first year, the Credit Union had over 1,000 members. “We’re better, together” is the insight that started CEFCU. And, after 75 years and dozens of milestones, that same approach and business model still works today. Thank you for contributing to 75 great years! (75 Years continued) 1962 — CEFCU celebrates 25 years; has 23 full-time employees, 14,000 members, $8 million assets 1972 — Phone-A-Loan service established, first Member Center opens; first issue of The Teller 2 1973 — CEFCU formally separates from Caterpillar and develops its own independent identity Trusts for Asset Protection and Estate Planning Investment Service to Help You Plan for Your Future Saving for the future — it can mean different things for different people, depending on the age and financial situation. You might think it is simply setting money aside.

And, those should be incorporated into a comprehensive plan. That’s where representatives of MEMBERS Financial Services™, made available through CEFCU, are available to help CEFCU members like you.

ATM Safety Tips Use these safety tips and your own common sense to stay safe and protect your account. Memorize your Personal Identification Number (PIN). Do not write your PIN on your card or keep it in your wallet or purse. Do not reveal your PIN to anyone. Have your card ready — in hand — before you approach an ATM. Choose only well-lit ATMs, park nearby, and have another person accompany you at night. Be aware of suspicious activity — trust your instincts. If you feel uncomfortable, immediately cancel your transaction and leave. Don’t agree to cash or deposit checks for someone else — even someone you know. Shield the keyboard and display with your body or car so others cannot see your transaction. Pocket your money immediately and be sure to take your receipt. Verify your transaction privately, and destroy all ATM receipts after comparing them to your statement. 1987 — CEFCU celebrates 50 years; named “Federal Credit Union of the Year” by the National Association of Federal Credit Unions Keep your car doors locked and leave the engine running when using a drive-up ATM. Be sure all windows, except your own, are closed. Never open a locked door for anyone you don’t know when using ATMs in restricted-access facilities. Report any crimes immediately to the police, CEFCU, and the ATM owner. If your CEFCU Check+® Card, CuCard®, or Visa Credit Card is lost or stolen, report it to CEFCU immediately at 1.800.633.7077. 1988 — Introduced Touch-Tone Teller service and nationwide CIRRUS ATM access; assets reach $500 million 4 1993 — Assets reach $1 billion; 170,000 members Well Kept and Clean Cars Worth More A little routine maintenance — and some elbow grease — can really pay off when you sell your current vehicle. According to the Car Care Council, a clean and well-maintained car in “excellent” condition can be worth thousands more at trade in than one in just “fair” condition. Here are some quick tips that can make a big difference in your car’s appearance and value at trade-in time: • Routine washing. Washing your car every week or two helps keep the finish free from damaging chemicals and dirt. your vehicle. Car wash formulas typically contain milder soap, which won’t harm the protective finish. • Stay in the shade. Direct sunlight can cause water spots or cause the car polish to actually bake into the finish, creating more damage. Work on your car in the shade or the morning, before the sun’s rays are at their strongest. • Get the inside dirt, too. Regular vacuuming helps keep the upholstery clean, minimizing stains and wear. • Periodic polish. Wax your vehicle once every six months to protect the vehicle finish. Ready to trade your car?
