JetStream Federal Credit Union, a full-service financial cooperative with $254 million in assets, is celebrating its 75th anniversary all year long by launching several new campaigns, products, services and a new website.
“As we move forward into 2024, JetStream continues to serve as our members’ trusted financial partner while operating from a position of financial strength as evidenced by excellent examination and audit ratings, and capital and liquidity ratios that far exceed regulatory requirements,” said Jeanne Kucey, president and CEO. “We are exceptionally proud of our JetStream team who work hard to ensure we are always there for our members, our community — and for one other. We would like to thank the membership for seventy-five years of support and participation in the Credit Union.”
The credit union was founded in 1948 when 10 FAA employees gathered at the home of JetStream’s first CEO, Jack Wilkie, and decided to form their own credit union. Today the credit union serves more than 14,000 members in Miami-Dade County and Puerto Rico.
Dr. Aaron Small, chief operating officer, said he is pleased about the significance of the occasion.
“It is particularly gratifying to be celebrating this anniversary as we embark on numerous technological enhancements” Dr. Small said. “Demand for our products and services continues to grow, we’ll be launching a new state of the art website soon, and we will be rolling out new cutting-edge home banking and mobile platforms with enhanced digital capabilities this spring.”
The 75-year-old credit union has five branches located in Miami, Miami Lakes, and Doral, as well as San Juan, Puerto Rico. Membership is open to anyone (and their family members) who lives, works, worships or attends school in Miami-Dade County, and anyone (and their family members) who lives, works, worships or attends school in Carolina, Trujillo Alto and San Juan in Puerto Rico.
“We continue to deliver on our promise of strengthening the communities we all share,” Kucey said. “JetStream takes pride in participating in fundraising events to support the Salvation Army, Boy Scouts of America and The Edge Toy Drive. We sponsor the Miami Lakes State of the Town, which benefits the Miami Lakes Educational Center Culinary Arts Program.
“In addition, we participate in internship programs at both the high school and college levels in partnership with the Center for Financial Training. We continue our online financial literacy outreach by working closely with members, schools, and businesses in our community to provide bilingual financial guidance on various topics.”
Kucey said that JetStream’s success to date is due to everyone working together.
“I have to give credit to the JetStream Team,” Kucey said. “The multicultural environment in which JetStream operates is truly unique. We have branches in both Miam-iDade County and Puerto Rico. Our team members are comprised of many different nationalities; most are bi-lingual and several speak three languages or more. Mutual respect is at the heart of our harmonious workplace.”
