Happy Mom and Son, Investing in YOU by Sharing Our Profits

We Put People Ahead of Profit

As a not-for-profit credit union, we return our profit to those who bank with us in many ways—like better rates, lower fees and our Profit Payout*. In the past 13 years, we've returned $100 million to our members through Profit Payout. That’s an average of $72 per qualifying household! We want to reward you for making us your financial go-to. That’s why the more products and services you have with us, the bigger your Profit Payout potential could be.

Profit Payout FAQs

Profit Payout is a dividend that allows CommunityAmerica to share a portion of our profits with our members. Based on the average balance in qualified products across the six categories, members in good standing are eligible to receive a portion of the payout. Profit Payout must be approved annually by CommunityAmerica’s Board of Directors and is not guaranteed.

All members in good standing and who have qualified products in at least three of the six categories for the full calendar year. Profit Payout would be pro-rated for accounts opened less than one year.
  1. Save – Minimum combined balance of $1,000 in Savings, CD & Money Market or Maintain at least $1,000 in a Checking account for 30 days
  2. Spend – 7 transactions a month on your Checking or Credit Card
  3. Manage – Use Online Banking, Mobile App or Direct Deposit
  4. Borrow – Have a Vehicle, Personal, Secured Loan or Credit Card
  5. Live – Have a Mortgage or Home Equity
  6. Invest – Have Investment, IRA or Insurance services
Profit Payout is not guaranteed each year. It’s a discretionary payout that is approved annually by our Board of Directors when they determine our ability to offer Profit Payout. If approved, payouts are typically deposited into your membership savings account at the beginning of the year. The 2025 Profit Payout occurred on January 14, 2025.
Your Profit Payout potential is based on your use of qualifying products in at least three or more of the six categories and your average balances in those products.
