Tom Neumann, our Executive VP/COO, talks about the First Source approach to fees, especially in response to recent legislation requiring financial institutions to take on the extra cost of debit card fees. In response to the new law, many big banks added fees to their cards, some added monthly fees, and others changed their requirements to get “free” cards and services. We continue to give you free (no-fee) debit cards. We avoid fees when possible, and when we can’t, we keep them low. Simple. Remember, at First Source, “free” means…”free”.

Eileen Pronobis and Michele Adams of Faxton St. Luke’s Healthcare join First Source Federal Credit Union’s Kristy Nole to talk about their ongoing collaboration in support of the Children’s Miracle Network (CMN), one of First Source’s favorite causes. They describe some of our mutual history, yearly fundraisers and their personal experience with the great work the CMN does for children and families. The CMN enables Faxton St. Luke’s to provide better care and facilities close to home for at-risk children and their families. Few organizations touch the people of our community so profoundly, and this long-running partnership continues to make a life-changing difference in the lives of our Members, volunteers, and neighbors.

First Source Brings Personal Brand Of Banking To Rome
June 22nd, 2011
NEW HARTFORD, NY – First Source Federal Credit Union held the official groundbreaking for their newest branch in Rome today. The brief ceremony took place at 1:00 p.m. at 1822 Black River Blvd. in Rome, and included comments from the Honorable James Brown, Mayor of the City of Rome; Barbara Klein, First Source Federal Credit Union Chairwoman; and Mike Parsons, President and CEO of First Source.
The new Rome office will be their fifth branch location, and will create eight new jobs in the City of Rome. The branch will feature a new building, and the opening is planned for late fourth quarter 2011 or early first quarter 2012.
“We have taken an approach counter to what so many of the large corporate banks are pursuing in these difficult times,” said Mike Parsons, President and CEO of First Source Federal Credit Union, “and our communities are responding to us in a very positive and tangible way. We’re thrilled to be able to expand our services to Rome, and continue this trend toward more personal banking.”
First Source added their last new branch just two years ago in North Utica. Growing Membership rolls and demand have prompted them to provide services in Rome. “We treat our Members as real people, as friends,” added Parsons. “They’re a part of our organization, and entrusting us with their financial future. This represents the next logical step in our ongoing expansion to provide high quality financial services and products in the communities we serve.”
First Source Federal Credit Union is a full-service financial institution, serving Members and their neighbors since 1938. First Source provides greater financial convenience and more personal connections with stronger relationships. They serve over 30,000 Members throughout Central New York, with current branches in New Hartford, South Utica, North Utica and Herkimer.
