St. Petersburg, Fla. – (Dec. 14, 2017) – PSCU announced a patronage dividend of $25.4 million for the cooperative’s 2017 fiscal year operations. Based on the cooperative’s financial strength, the CUSO also previously distributed a payment of $5.5 million related to the prior issued capital credits.

“During 2017, PSCU made investments of nearly $25 million in innovative solutions and leading-edge technologies for credit unions to better interact with their members,” said Chuck Fagan, PSCU President and CEO. “Since our inception more than 40 years ago, our focus has been on driving the success of our Owners by providing best-in-class payments solutions and an unparalleled member experience. This will continue in 2018 and beyond.”

Highlights from the past fiscal year include:

The CUSO has issued $490.1 million in patronage dividends — of which nearly 50 percent has been paid in cash — since becoming a cooperative in 1994. PSCU’s cooperative structure enables distribution of the company’s earnings to its Owner credit unions as tax-free patronage dividends.
