Credit Union assets rise TERRACE — Dividends in- creased to 13 per cent, up one point from last year, and its asset. base is now nearly $20 million, reports the Terrace and District Credit Union. Manager Dennis Brewer said the financial institution record- eda strong year. “This is the healthiest we've ever been in our history,’’ said Brewer of the credit union in- corporated in 1945. Net income before taxes last year was $102,730, That's down from the $127,000 the year before and reflects writing off $26,000 in loan losses, he said. The asset base of $19.2 million is a nine per cent in- creasé over the $17.6 the year before. In part, that’s allowed the credit. union to ‘Joan more money and to increase its capital base. New provincial financial legislation requires credit unions to have a four per cent capital base. The credit union has .a capital base of 6.71 per cent, Brewer said mortgage loans "increased by nearly 14 per cent to $8.869 million while total loans were up seven per cent to $10.6 million. The increase in mortgage loans reflects a strong local economy, he added. “We're seeing a lot of de- mand in residential housing and people are using the equity in their homes,’’ Brewer added. And while the credit union’s financial performance in- creases, it has had to deal with regulatory changes. , Five new pieces of legislation have placed provincial credit unions in a more self-governing role. As well, ‘the credit’ union’s financial performance has resulted in it officially being ‘removed from regulatory super- vision. This happened in the early . 1980s when it built the structure in which it is now housed. That. placed more of the credit union’s assets in ane area than what is normally allowed. * The credit union has approx- imately 4,000 members, 75 per cent of which live in Terrace and Thornhill, Members have the opportuni- ty lo question the credil union board at the institution’s annual general meeting May 1. It begins 7 p.m. at the Elks hail. Up for election are four pasi- tions on the credit union board.
