Message to Our Members – January 2026

(2 Minute Read) — January brings a sense of renewal, a chance to look ahead with optimism and clarity. As we step into 2026, I am especially proud of the strong position Unitus is in and the direction we are moving together. 

This year marks the start of year two of our Social Responsibility Commitments. These commitments guide how we support our members and our community, and they reflect the values that have shaped Unitus for more than eighty years. From expanding access to financial education to strengthening community partnerships and investing in programs that open doors, we are already seeing meaningful progress take root. I look forward to sharing more of that impact with you throughout the year. 

January is also National Financial Wellness Month, a reminder that taking care of ourselves includes feeling comfortable and supported as we navigate our financial lives. At Unitus, financial wellness is not about perfection, it is about feeling empowered. If you want tools that help you get organized or feel more confident this year, our Financial Wellbeing resources include videos, articles, quizzes, and guides you can explore anytime. Many members tell us these small, simple tools help them feel more prepared as they ease into the new year. 

Through all of this, Unitus remains financially strong, steady, and well positioned to continue serving you. Our strength allows us to keep investing in technology, member experience, and the community programs that matter most. 

Thank you for choosing Unitus and for being part of our community. I wish you and your family a hopeful start to 2026 and a year of meaningful progress. 

Sincerely,  

Steven Stapp
