REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS Throughout 2020, the collective challenges we faced led us to innovate and find new ways to meet our members’ emerging needs and explore new ways to serve them efficiently and safely. Through it all, we were steadfast in our commitment to bring our members sound guidance, excellent service and opportunities to improve their financial state. This year reinforced the notion that technology and convenience are key to business contingency. We launched a new and improved digital banking platform, offering members a more streamlined online experience, free credit monitoring, and the ability to access all of their accounts in one place. We were the first Houston-area credit union to utilize video banking technology to offer a fully remote member service experience. Since June, our vBanking service has allowed members to do virtually anything that once required a trip to the branch, from their smartphone through face-to-face video chat. Touchscreen vBanking kiosks are also currently available in all ACU of Texas branches, allowing for shorter wait times as representatives are able to remotely assist members. These technological advancements allow members to bank with us from anywhere, which is even more important now that we have amended our by-laws, expanding our field of membership to include Brazos, Chambers, Fort Bend, Grimes, Matagorda, Montgomery and Wharton counties. The credit union navigated lobby closures and operated strictly via drive-thru from mid-March through May. This time allowed us to reevaluate which services were feasible through the drive-thru, eventually expanding those services for good once lobbies reopened. During this same time, we enabled 82 back office employees to work from home, to limit exposure, without any layoffs or furloughs. Adding to our already new business account portfolio, we were quick to offer the critical SBA Paycheck Protection Program loans, helping keep more than 65 small businesses open and operating. In addition, we worked with members to defer loan payments when jobs were lost and uncertainty was high. Our Mascot Debit Card program continued to provide funds for educational grants to assist teachers and school districts as they dealt with a rapidly changing learning structure. Throughout the year, we donated more than $20,000 to our partner school districts and Education Foundations. We also added two additional cards for Alvin Community College and the Cypress-Fairbanks ISD Education Foundation. Moreover, we upgraded our plastics to all contactless debit and credit cards, as well as added our new Select MasterCard credit card, which earns 2% cash back on all purchases. Due to the pandemic, we shifted our annual STAR Academy, which provides financial education to children in 3rd grade through junior high, to an online model to host a four-day interactive financial literacy summer camp for 63 students via Zoom. In addition, we offered Financial Peace University to 82 couples, helping them as they work to improve their overall financial situation. 01 | ACU OF TEXAS ANNUAL REPORT 2020

Finally, our insurance program through our CUSO, CU Financial Group, LLC, now stands at over $26 million in our book of business and we have brokerage relationships with ten credit unions across the state of Texas. CUFG Keystone Realty Group had 70 real estate closings in 2020. Keystone Community Development Corporation, the non-profit division of CUFG, offered Homebuyer Education Courses to 109 attendees, and continues to provide access to veteran service organizations through our SERVE network, which has been assisting local veterans since 2015. In 2021, we will continue our digital-first approach with the launch of a texting platform and a simplified online process for account opening and loan applications. As we reflect on our years as a credit union, it is clear that our commitment to our members has remained unchanged even as the world changed around us. As we continue to grow and adapt to the needs of our members, we ask for continued active participation, and in return, you can be sure you will see progressive, quality financial services and an unwavering dedication to our member-owners.
