Be an Owner. Enjoy Better.
$50 Million Extraordinary Dividend!
At CEFCU, you’re not just another number, you are part of a community — borrowers and savers helping one another achieve better. And more importantly… you’re an owner as every CEFCU member owns a part of the Credit Union. It’s this community that helps CEFCU members enjoy a better value every day — through fewer fees, great rates, and so much more.
And, when business results are better than expected, our earnings go back to the CEFCU members who made it happen… our owners — because it’s the right thing to do. That’s the Extraordinary Dividend, and while it’s not guaranteed to happen every year, this year CEFCU member/owners shared an Extraordinary Dividend of $50 million. Makes you think… when’s the last time you got money back from a bank? That’s the difference of owning.
Discover the better difference today, and switch to CEFCU.

The Extraordinary Dividend is more than a number…
At CEFCU, you’re part of a bigger community of borrowers and savers helping each other.
“I have been with CEFCU for years and have always enjoyed the Extraordinary Dividend. It was kind of special this past Saturday morning though when my daughter, who just graduated from college in May, exclaimed ‘Dad, CEFCU just paid me!’ My response: ‘What?’ Her: ‘They just paid me an Extra Dividend!’ I am sure she enjoys it and is glad to be a CEFCU member.”

“I’ve been with you for years, and you have helped me when I’ve been in some tough times. The Dividends you’ve been giving the end of the year is awesome. I’m just glad I chose CEFCU you guys rock — way better than any other place.”
Brett, from Peoria

“I had always used banks for years; had spent a good deal of my working years actually being employed in various departments at banks! When I moved to this area, I was directed by another member that I should check out CEFCU. What a wonderful surprise it is to receive a Dividend from the Credit Union. Thank you so much!”
Valerie, from Creve Coeur

“I am using my Dividend to help pay off my student loans. Then, my husband and I will work to build our dream house!”
Katie, from Streator
Member since 2006
“I had to take a double-look at my savings account, I thought I made a mistake. When I realized (what it was), it was like a gift from Santa. So thankful we picked the right financial Institution. It’s very much appreciated and needed — Thanks!”
Carol, from Farmer City
Member since 2006
“The first time I found my Extraordinary Dividend, I thought that there had been some mistake. My mom, who is also a member, told me all about it. Now whenever there is a dividend, it is like Christmas morning.”
Cheryl, from Peoria
Member since 2012
“I received more than I expected. I was (with another institution) for many years and never received anything like this. Thank you CEFCU for making my Christmas a little bit brighter.”
Brenda, from Decatur
Member since 2017
“I receive flyers constantly which try to get me to refinance my mortgage somewhere else. Why would I, when the Dividend I’ve received annually makes a mortgage payment for me! That drives my interest rate down (even lower). Thanks CEFCU!”
