Teaming Up to Share Member Benefits
HAWTHORNE, CA—SkyOne Federal Credit Union and the Surfrider Foundation have joined forces to expand member benefits and mission-related efforts to protect the ocean, waves and beaches.
SkyOne, a local not-for-profit financial cooperative, provides members with free tools, such as financial education and affordable banking services, to help manage finances and save for the future.
The Surfrider Foundation is a national nonprofit coastal conservation organization dedicated to protecting clean water and healthy beaches through campaigns, programs and educational initiatives in local communities.
Each organization is extending benefits to the other’s membership base. SkyOne will pay the initial annual membership for its members to join the Surfrider Foundation.
“SkyOne shares our members’ values in preserving our environment for future generations,” said Joseph Whitaker, SkyOne’s President and CEO. “We are excited to partner with Surfrider Foundation to help further their efforts in ensuring clean water and lasting solutions to the threats our oceans are facing.”
“Having grown up on the beaches of Southern California, I truly appreciate the efforts and results that the Surfrider Foundation has provided to my hometown,” said Shannon Doiron, SkyOne’s Chief Marketing Officer. “It is an honor to partner with such a great organization. I am excited to contribute to their ongoing efforts and help them grow their membership as well.”
Surfrider members can join SkyOne and enjoy membership benefits, including easy access to deposits with thousands of ATMs and Shared Branches nationwide, a live call center, no-fee early paycheck arrival via direct deposit, low nuisance fees, and competitive rates on loans and savings.
Any potential member who would like to join SkyOne but would not otherwise qualify can join Surfrider and become a member of SkyOne.
