Miami, FL (1888PressRelease) April 02, 2014 - This designation is certified by the National Cooperative Business Association through its Community Development Initiative. It's an essential tool for organizations serving moderate and low income populations, and an effective way for financial institutions to better serve their members when they face difficult times.

The certification is part of JetStream's ongoing effort to offer financial guidance and education to the unbanked and underserved members throughout the community.

With more than 75 percent of its members classified as low income, building a community development program to serve distressed members has been a priority for JetStream Federal Credit Union. The credit union was granted the designation of CDFI (Community Development Financial Institution) in 2012 by the US Treasury department.

"The skills we have acquired by earning this certification has provided my team with valuable knowledge that we can use every day to help us better understand and advise members who may be facing financial hardships," explains Collections Manager, Maria Morales.
