Membership-Patronage Dividend Payment
For the 17th consecutive year,WFCU's Board of Directors has
declared the annual dividend on Membership-Patronage Shares and
this will be paid on Friday, September 7, 2007, to all members
in good standing as of May 31, 2007.
Members who joined prior to May 1995 and have $85 in Membership
Shares ($170 for joint members) will have $5 paid to their Patronage
Shares ($10 for joint members). Members who joined after May 1995
will have their dividend paid to their Membership Shares until
they attain the required $85 Membership Shares level ($170 for
joint members).
The dividend payment is one component of the credit union's planned
strategy to build our Regulatory Capital and to strengthen our
financial position. This dividend payment is counted as part of
our Regulatory Capital which consists of Membership and Patronage
Shares, Investment Shares and Financial Reserves.
Through this plan, by May 2007, WFCU has built over $49 million
in Regulatory Capital or 8.78% of assets, surpassing the required
legislated level of 5.00%. This strong capital base ensuresWFCU
continues to expand and to offer competitively priced products
and services.
