At OAS FCU, we are deeply committed to the planet and society that we wish future generations to inherit. A few years ago the Credit Union became an open supporter of the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals (or SDGs). The 17 SDGs represent a universal call to action to end poverty, build a healthier planet, and ensure that by 2030 all people enjoy peace and prosperity. They are designed to end poverty, hunger, AIDS, and discrimination against women and girls.

Fostering sustainability

Our sustainability journey started many years ago, when we first looked at reducing our use of paper, printer ink cartridges and other office supplies. 2025 will mark our 20th year offering you electronic statements, or eStatements. An amazing 92% of our membership uses eStatements for their OAS FCU accounts.

Not only that, in the past few years –at the behest of our environmentally conscious members- we worked with the providers that manage certain OAS FCU loan types such as CUMA (mortgages) and Velera (credit cards) to get them to develop electronic statements so that our members could obtain paperless statements on their accounts. To date we have switched 332 members to electronic mortgage statements, and 3,388 to credit card electronic statements. Hats off to you!

One tree at a time

Since 2014, One Tree Planted has planted over 135.5 million trees with 378 partners across 82 countries. Through their work, they have restored over 118,518 hectares (292,864 acres) of forest around the world, made 106 cities greener by planting urban trees for environmental justice and tree equity, and more.

We are very happy to report that OAS FCU has planted 4386 trees in your name.
