Growing TogetherAs we reflect on the last 25 Years, our
focus is clear. Through our members’
eyes, we see the fulfillment of the BCU
Vision – personalize your experience,
reward your loyalty, exceed your expec-
tations and commit to your prosperity.
We have built this credit union from the
ground up – TOGETHER. And we look
forward to continuing to serve you and
your family for generations to come.

Chairperson and President’s MessageWe cannot start our report this year without taking a moment to
recognize the significance of completing our 25th Year of service
to you, our member. During this time, we have experienced solid,
continuous growth and have successfully managed through changes
in the financial services industry and in our nation’s economy.
Through it all, our focus has never changed. Stay close to our
members, provide unparalleled service and constantly evaluate how
we can improve the value, convenience and security we provide to
our diverse membership base – one person at a time.
The doors of our first employees’ credit union opened in 1981.
That small organization – established with just $500 in member
funds – has grown into an award winning organization with over
$1.16 billion in assets, serving 124,250 members throughout the
United States and Puerto Rico. We see this as testimony of our
members’ loyalty and responsiveness to the competitive products
and services provided by the credit union. The positive momentum
that began over 25 years ago has fueled our growth and improved
the lives of our extended family.
Financially, our capital ratio ended 2006 at 9.28% and we hold the
highest regulatory capital designation. While total ending 2006 assets
grew 12.1% over the 2005 year-end total, it gives us pleasure to report
that nearly $29 million was paid in dividends to our members, an in-
crease of $8.2 million, or 39.2%, over 2005. This increase reflects the
value we are giving back to our members as they earn higher rates on
their share accounts. The higher dividends were also created by mem-
ber share growth of 12.6% over 2005, which totaled $964 million at
the end of 2006. A significant portion of this growth came with the
recent revamp of our money market account, which now provides
more members the opportunity to earn higher dividends at lower
balance thresholds. Our loan portfolio grew by 13.6% and reached
$1.02 billion at year end as members turned to us for competitive
rates and flexible solutions to meet their borrowing needs.
This past year was also a time of giving back, as we sought out ways to
strengthen and support the communities we serve. BCU employees’
efforts helped raise more than $55,000 for the Multiple Myeloma Re-
search Foundation. Employees also gave generously of their time and
talents, volunteering for a variety of community causes and events.
New Member GrowthChairperson and President’s MessageThe last 25 years have allowed us to make signifi cant progress in elec-
tronic services, account access and product development, which now
provide an even stronger foundation for future growth and success in
serving you. Although change is certain, BCU’s commitment to your
prosperity will continue to be the driving force of our business.
We would like to thank our Board of Directors, sponsors, staff, and
our members who have made the last 25 years possible, and who form
the foundation of BCU’s success. If the past is any indication of the
future, the journey ahead is sure to be exciting.
May the new year bring you and your family peace and good health.
Margot F. KaplanChairperson
Michael G. ValentinePresident & CEO
We would like to recognize the corporate
sponsor groups who have played such a
critical role in our success over the last
25 years.
