USA Federal Nets Over 1,300 New Members In 4th Quarter Campaign

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

San Diego, Calif., February 12, 2008 – USA Federal Credit Union has had a resounding success with its recent advertising and rebranding campaign, netting 1,348 new members and exceeding the campaign's goals by 337%, it was announced by Rob Folsom, chief strategic officer. Net loans also surged to an increase of $11.7 million, according to Folsom.

"In my eleven years at USA Federal, I've never seen such a united effort towards a business objective, and it's very satisfying to see it pay off," Folsom said. "We look forward to continuing to build momentum in 2008."

Folsom expects USA Federal's latest promotion to contribute to impressive first-quarter results. The San Diego-based credit union has just unveiled a new 'toy loan' program with no payments for ninety days and auto loans as low as 5.99% APR. For customers shopping for a boat, RV, motorcycle or ATV, special limited-time low rates are also available, including RV and motorcycle rates as low as 7.74% APR.

To sweeten the deal, USA Federal is even offering $100 cash back at the time of loan funding.

"Applying is easy, and rates this low are too good to pass up," said Todd Kern, vice president of marketing. "If you've been thinking of buying a new boat, bike or other toy, now's the time to visit USA Federal and find out how we can make it happen."

The USA Federal 'toy loan' program runs through March 31, 2008 and will be promoted in print, radio and internet advertising. Loans can be used for anything from new cars to RVs, boats and motorcycles, with no payments for ninety days.
