A Fresh Start
A new year ushers in the possibility of a fresh start and the chance for everyone to put themselves on a better financial path. And Riverfront’s specialty is doing just that. No matter what your future goals are, we know how important it is to assist each of our members with solutions tailored to fit their individual needs. Life can present many bumps along the road to financial wellness, but Riverfront is here to help smooth out the path and make our members’ financial lives easier.
Speaking of making life easier, Riverfront is pleased to offer a Buy Now, Pay Later payment plan for cardholders carrying our Cash Rewards Visa®. Paying off your purchases is now easier than ever! Riverfront’s Installment Payment plan is a great way to elect your expense payback in a set repayment schedule that you choose. If you overspent during the past few months, making your purchases more manageable by utilizing this convenient plan can help get your budget back on track for the New Year.
And don’t forget that Riverfront has other tools to make it easier to get some balance back into your budget. Skip an auto loan payment when you need extra funds the most with Skip-a-Pay. Use the extra funds to catch up on paying holiday bills. Or you may want to consider consolidating all your holiday expenses. Riverfront’s Cash Rewards Visa® is the perfect way to accomplish this with a low balance transfer rate of 3.99% APR* for 12 months with no fee.
Last year we introduced you to AIDA. For those who aren’t aware, AI Direct Assist (AIDA) is the newest member of our service team. AIDA is available 24/7 to answer basic questions about your Riverfront accounts when calling into the Call Center. She even works on holidays! If you’ve ever imagined having your very own personal financial assistant, AIDA is here and ready to help with balance inquiries, transfers, loan payments, forms and more!
Because Riverfront is a community-focused organization, we’re always finding new ways to connect with our community partners so we can work together to provide Berks with the resources and expertise needed for people to thrive. We’ve got some special events lined up for 2025 and can’t wait to share them with you. Stay tuned as we introduce some new community partnerships this year while still supporting those we have partnered with in the past.
Be on the lookout for some exciting news in the upcoming months about the ways in which Riverfront is streamlining our service delivery to make banking with us even better. And we’re grateful to all who reply to us via ongoing surveys. The informative feedback you provide plays a big part in helping us to onboard new products and services to better serve you, our members.
On behalf of the Board of Directors and the entire Riverfront team, I’d like to wish you and your family and friends a safe and prosperous New Year.

How can I become a member?
Customers become members and part owners when they open an account here. Our profits are returned to members in the form of better rates, lower fees, improved services, and increased reserves to maintain our unmatched financial strength. Having an account at Riverfront means that you are part owner of the Credit Union.
Deposits are used to fund loans to other account holders. Earnings are used to increase savings yields, lower loan rates, offer new financial services, or add to the institution’s financial strength. Don’t worry; your money is safe with us. The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), an agency of the U.S. Government, regulates us. The NCUA examines each credit union annually and insures your savings accounts up to at least $250,000.
