“Being raised in Miami and like many other families in our community, my family story is an immigrant’s story. My parents fled Cuba in the late 1950’s and eventually made Miami their home. My mother and father instilled in me the values of family, faith and a sense of purpose to serve one’s community. And like our community, your University Credit Union shares the common bond of “people helping people” and the philosophy to give back to the community. I have been fortunate in life and in my career to have been able to volunteer for multiple charitable and community-based organizations, such as Big Brothers & Big Sisters where I served as a “Biggie” and also with the Salvation Army’s foster home for children. Along with my family, we share in the responsibility of serving our community and the rewards that come with volunteerism”, states Mr. Rose.
The University Credit Union was chartered in 1947 in The City Beautiful, Coral Gables by eight (8) University of Miami faculty members and named the University of Miami Credit Union. Today, University Credit Union continues to serve the banking needs of all the employees, Alumni and students at the University of Miami, along with Florida International University and St. Thomas University. University Credit Union also offers banking services to all those who work in the legal profession; to include past and present members of the Florida BAR Association who reside in Palm Beach, Broward and Monroe counties. In 2008 University Credit Union welcomed the residents of Miami-Dade County, allowing for banking services to be provided to all within the South Florida community.
“For the past 75 years, University Credit Union has genuinely worked to help the member-owners of the credit union achieve their financial dreams while providing exceptional banking services. Along with our team and the Board of Directors, I look forward to continuing to serve the residents of South Florida, The University of Miami, Florida International University and St. Thomas University, while leading our credit union to future growth and building upon our strong foundation of financial strength and World Class Member Service.” states Mr. Rose.
