Dear Members of UKRFCU,

On behalf of the Board of Directors, we extend our sincere gratitude to each of you for your overwhelming support of the proposal to merge with Self Reliance New York Federal Credit Union. With an extraordinary 82.9% approval and 1,095 members casting their votes, you have made a truly historic decision.

This moment is more than a milestone in our financial journey—it is a testament to the strength and unity of our Ukrainian heritage. By coming together, we honor our traditions while building a brighter future for the Ukrainian American community. This merger is not only a tremendous step toward long-term financial stability but also a gateway to greater cultural exchange and development for Ukrainians in the Greater Washington, New York, and Philadelphia regions.

By uniting our financial capabilities, we unlock opportunities once unimaginable—empowering our team to create a modern, member-focused financial institution offering the full spectrum of regulated services, from Upper New York State to Virginia. Together, we will shape a trusted and innovative credit union that serves as both a financial stronghold and a cultural bridge for generations to come.

Thank you for your trust, your vision, and your commitment to our shared future.

With deep appreciation,
Board of Directors
Ukrainian Selfreliance Federal Credit Union (UKRFCU)
