President's Message - Spring 2026

Exciting Times at Jolt!

Happy Spring! As we thaw out from a very cold winter, traffic in our branches and across the region is heating up! Our staff is excited to help turn your dreams into reality, regardless of what stage of life you’re in.

We’re proud to announce that Jolt will soon begin offering vehicle leasing. With new car prices now averaging over $50,000, flexibility matters more than ever. Leasing gives members another option to keep payments manageable while still driving something they love. It’s about having choices and moving forward in a way that feels right for you.

Our Ignite! Cash Back Visa card has been a huge success. With 2%* unlimited cash back on everyday purchases, it’s one more way we’re helping your money work harder for you, even on the things you already do every day.

And if you haven’t heard about our Take-Back Loan yet, it’s worth a look. This innovative, free feature can be added to new or existing auto or signature personal loans right in online or mobile banking! You can pay ahead when times are good, knowing that if an unexpected expense happens, those extra payments are still accessible. It’s a smarter, more flexible way to borrow, and one more way we’re working to put control back in our members’ hands.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for the Bay Area Runners Club St. Patrick’s Day Races, proudly presented by Jolt Credit Union! Being part of this event is always special, and we’re excited to keep our partnership strong as the race continues to grow, evolve, and be enjoyed by so many across the Great Lakes Bay Region.

Looking ahead, our 70th Annual Meeting takes place on April 23 at 5:30pm. It’s a great chance to see what we’ve been working on, connect with our Board, check out the Clayton Administration Building (CAB), and spend some time together. We’ll have refreshments, snacks, door prizes, and time to visit, and we hope you’ll join us.

Lastly, want to keep up with everything at Jolt? Follow us on social media.

Thank you for your membership!
