Municipal Credit Union

Municipal Credit Union is proud to share that we’ve achieved the Gold level of the Cigna Healthy Workforce Designation, advancing from Bronze just one year ago. This recognition reflects more than a milestone — it’s a testament to the intentional steps we’ve taken to strengthen how we support our people. At MCU, we believe a high-performing organization starts with a healthy, supported workforce. Over the past year, we’ve continued to invest in initiatives that prioritize: • Physical and mental well-being • Meaningful, accessible benefits • A culture where employees feel valued, supported, and empowered Progress like this doesn’t happen by accident — it’s driven by our #ONETEAM and a shared commitment to continuously raising the bar. And we’re just getting started. If you’re looking to join an organization that actively invests in its people and culture, explore opportunities with us: https://lnkd.in/dCZvgiXm

We’re proud to share that MCU earned a Diamond Award from America's Credit Unions, recognizing exceptional achievement in marketing strategy, creativity, and results. MCU earned the award for its “We’re Here for It” campaign, which celebrated the hard-earned wins of everyday New Yorkers and positioned the credit union as a relatable alternative to national banks. Congratulations to the Marketing team and Brand Ambassadors on this recognition and the outstanding results achieved through the campaign.

2025 brought great success. We expanded access to financial opportunities for our members, invested in our employees' growth, and supported our communities. We are incredibly proud of all that was achieved last year and look forward to continued success throughout 2026. See our full 2025 impact report below.

Recently, Chief Lending Officer Michael Savino sat down with The Wall Street Journal to provide keen insight into the key factors to consider when choosing the right mortgage lender, as well as solid context on the importance of local versus national lenders. “It's not about finding the lowest rate,” Savino says. “It's about finding a partner who really understands your market, can explain options clearly and help you make an educated decision that supports your long-term financial well-being.” We are proud to have Mike leading our lending team and to have his expertise featured in this informative article.

To round up Women's History Month, we are highlighting Susan Ng, Manager of Fraud Investigations. Susan leads a team of skilled investigators to stay ahead of emerging fraud trends - working to ensure the protection of MCU and our members at the highest level. The biggest piece of advice she carries with her through her work in fraud and beyond: keep asking "why". "Whether you’re digging into a fraud investigation or trying to understand a process issue, don’t accept the first answer at face value. As someone on my team likes to say, trust your spidey senses — that instinct is often the first clue that something deserves a deeper look." #WomensHistoryMonth #CareerAdvice #NYC #MCU #ProfessionalDevelopment

Next for Women's History Month, we are highlighting Patty Pena, Senior Manager of Business Development. Patricia guides the overall strategy of the business development team, expanding community and municipal relationships while driving measurable revenue outcomes for MCU. Her advice: communication is key to success and growth! "Establishing clear expectations is essential; it lays the groundwork for an environment where open communication thrives. By fostering this atmosphere, team members feel empowered to engage in genuine two-way feedback sessions. These discussions provide valuable opportunities to exchange ideas and address challenges collaboratively." #WomensHistoryMonth #CareerAdvice #NYC #MCU #ProfessionalDevelopment

Continuing with Women's History Month, we are highlighting Shante Brown, Senior Manager of Consumer Lending. Shante ensures the profitable expansion of MCU's consumer loan portfolio by applying a prudent lending philosophy. Drawing from her past experiences has been invaluable to Shante's success and the mentoring efforts she provides to colleagues. "If I were to offer two key pieces of guidance to newcomers, they would be: go easy on yourself and remember that greatness can't be rushed. While many people aspire to quick success, few are prepared for the hard work it takes to truly achieve it." #WomensHistoryMonth #CareerAdvice #NYC #MCU #ProfessionalDevelopment

We are proud of all the work that The MCU Foundation does for our community, including the charities that it partners with. They recently presented City Harvest with a $200,000 grant to support their efforts to rescue more than 86 million pounds of food this year and deliver it to a network of soup kitchens, food pantries, and community food programs across New York City. The Foundation's expanded gift reflects its longstanding commitment to uplifting New Yorkers in need by addressing critical challenges like food insecurity.
