July 2025: A letter from the President

Estimados diputados,

At Centra, we believe that long-term financial well-being starts with a plan. Whether you’re saving for a home, planning for retirement, or investing for long-term growth, your future deserves thoughtful preparation and guidance. Our Centra Financial Services team is here to help. With personalized advice, professional insight, and investment options tailored to your unique goals, CFS is committed to helping you work toward a strong financial future, step by step.

As you work toward your goals, it’s just as important to protect what you’ve built. In today’s ever-evolving world, staying informed about current fraud trends is essential. Fraudsters are getting more sophisticated, even using artificial intelligence to mimic voices, create fake emails, and manipulate information in ways that can be difficult to detect. This new wave of fraud makes it more important than ever to stay vigilant and work with financial institutions, like Centra, that you can trust. As always, Centra will never call you and ask for your personal information. For more tips on how you can keep your information safe, visit our Fraud Protection and Prevention webpage.

Speaking of trust, I’m pleased to announce that Centra Credit Union has once again been recognized by Forbes as one of America’s Best-in-State Credit Unions. This is our third time receiving this accolade in the past four years, and it reflects our financial strength and our ongoing commitment to serving you, our Members, with integrity, transparency, and care.

Lastly, to build on our commitment to you and the Communities we serve, I wanted to share an update from the Centra Foundation. Our Team Members care deeply about Centra’s vision of creating value and the credit union philosophy of People Helping People. We’re always looking for new and unique ways that we can make a difference in the lives of local community members. With the Foundation’s Pay It Forward program, we empower our Team Members to get creative in their giveback efforts. Whether it’s volunteering at and stocking food pantries, beautifying a local community park, or supporting senior citizen centers, these service projects are just another example of how Centra is centered around our Members and local communities.

Atentamente,
Rick A. Silvers
Presidente y Consejero Delegado
