Being a Summit Member Has its Rewards
Cash Boomerang* is a unique benefit of membership with Summit Credit Union.
Thanks to our members, we’re giving back over $2.3 million this year. Every time you choose a financial product from Summit, you’re not just helping yourself, you’re helping every member and the overall success of our credit union. (And doesn’t that feel great?)
Being customer-owned means we give back to you, our member, not stockholders. Because of this, we have the privilege to do something most financial institutions don’t – give back to the people who use our products and services.
Here’s how it works – it’s simple!
The more you save and borrow with Summit, the higher your Cash Boomerang payout could be each year. Each November, qualifying Summit Credit Union members with checking accounts will receive notice of their Cash Boomerang payout.
The amount that comes back to you depends on the overall financial success of Summit, and how much you save and borrow at Summit.
Cash Boomerang is just one of the many ways we give back to our members.
