Whiskers made a quick stop to help us welcome LexLive as the newest UK Credit Union Preferred Partner and somehow still found time to pick up a pickleball (future Lexington pickleball champ?) 🏓😸.

We celebrated with the LexLive team at Pickleball Kingdom, who were incredible hosts for the launch party and brought some extra fun to the event. Between friendly competition, great conversation, and Whiskers showing off on the court, it was the perfect way to welcome our newest Preferred Partner!

We’re excited to continue building partnerships (and maybe playing a little more pickleball) that create even more value, connections, and experiences for our members and community. 💙

Last night’s Investing in Women seminar at UK Credit Union was an inspiring evening focused on helping women feel more informed, empowered, and confident when it comes to investing and planning for the future.

A special thank you to Hannah Easterling for leading such an engaging and insightful conversation, and to everyone who took the time to join us. Opportunities to learn, connect, and grow together like this are invaluable, and we’re grateful to be part of a community that continues to show up and support one another. 💙

Our Annual Meeting was a success! 🎉 We were proud to share the progress we've made in 2025, what’s ahead for 2026, and connect with our members throughout.

During our meeting, we were honored to present a $10,000 check to Fayette County Public Schools in support of their Homeless Education Assistance Initiative under the McKinney-Vento Homeless Act, helping ensure students have access to the education and resources they deserve regardless of their living situation.

Moments like these reflect what Community First truly means to us. ❤️ Thank you, FCPS, for the incredible work you do for local students and families!

Happy Pride Month from your friends at UK Credit Union! 🏳️‍🌈

Community is at the heart of everything we do. 💙

Our UK Credit Union team took team building day beyond the office and into the community by volunteering with Common Good — an organization dedicated to helping thriving students, strong families, and flourishing neighborhoods reach their full potential.

Our team spent the day building furniture for classrooms used in their after-school programs, helping create spaces where local students can learn, grow, and succeed.

We’re proud to support organizations that share our belief that when we put our communities and neighborhoods first, everyone thrives! 🏘️

We had a great time connecting with the Society of Women Engineers at the UK College of Engineering to talk about budgeting, saving, and preparing for the future. 💡

The students came ready with thoughtful questions, meaningful conversations, and even shared their own financial plans with us to explore ways they could strengthen their financial future.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and engaged in the discussion — we love helping students build confidence in their financial journey! 💪
