National Cooperative Bank is proud to celebrate 46 years of making an impact in communities! Thank you to our NCB team and customers and to the co-op community. #workingtogether #buildingcommunity
Hard to believe it was 46 years ago. I am so very proud of this Institution and even prouder to have served as its first President, even if only on an interim basis. A special call out to the team that put the Bank together!
🚗 Norma Fralin's Story: Gaining Freedom with Responsible Rides 🚗 For Norma, having reliable transportation wasn’t just about convenience — it was a lifeline. Without a car, everyday tasks like getting to work or caring for her family became overwhelming. But with limited financial resources, securing a vehicle seemed out of reach. That’s where Freedom First Credit Union, a dedicated Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI), stepped in. Through their Responsible Rides Program, Norma was able to access affordable financing and finally purchase a reliable car. This program doesn't just provide vehicles; it gives individuals like Norma the opportunity to regain their independence and build a better future. 🚘💼 Freedom First Credit Union is one of the many CDFIs that CNote partners with through the Flagship Fund, ensuring capital flows into programs that support individuals and families in need of economic empowerment.
