UCU Has Earned the AARP BankSafe Seal for 2025

March 2025

We’re proud to share that we have received AARP’s BankSafe Trained Seal in recognition of our commitment to safeguarding older adults from financial exploitation through rigorous training and strong policies. The BankSafe designation is earned after over 80% of an organization’s front line staff completes AARP’s comprehensive BankSafe training.

Jilenne Gunther, National Director of AARP’s BankSafe Initiative, is quoted in AARP’s official press release saying, “The tremendous growth in the number of financial organizations using AARP BankSafe shows just how valuable the initiative is to front line workers across the nation. Not only do we have financial organizations coming back year after year to provide their staff with the BankSafe training, but more institutions continue to learn of its value. Our impact is growing exponentially as we provide more workers with the tools, skills and confidence to help prevent financial exploitation”

At UCU, we believe that every member deserves to age with dignity and financial security. That’s why our team has invested the time into comprehensive BankSafe training which is designed to help identify warning signs of elder abuse and exploitation in order to protect our members’ financial well-being.

As proud members of our communities, we understand the trust that UCU members place in us. Receiving the BankSafe designation is a testament to the hard work and commitment of the entire front line team at UCU, and it’s a promise to continue prioritizing the well-being of our members, especially our at-risk members.

We are proud to be BankSafe Trained and will proudly display the AARP BankSafe Trained Seal!
