Reimagining Business Banking: Welcoming Hope & Help to USF CU

We’re proud to welcome Hope & Help Center of Central Florida as a new partner and business member of USF Credit Union. If you know their story, you know why this matters.

Hope & Help is located in Winter Park, Florida (the home of our new branch opening in April, 2026) and they exist to protect health. To restore dignity. And to walk with people through some of life’s hardest moments.

More Than a Loan

As part of this new partnership, we’ve had the opportunity to provide Hope & Help with the largest commercial loan in our credit union’s history.

That’s significant for us - not because of the number, but because of what it represents. It represents trust. Trust that we would take the time to understand their goals and build a solution around them.

And that’s what reimagined business banking looks like.

At USF CU, business owners don’t get routed through layers of red tape. You work directly with a lending specialist who listens first and structures financing around your growth - whether that’s:

• Lines of credit
• Equipment or vehicle financing
• Term loans for expansion
• Commercial real estate financing
• SBA loan solutions
• Business credit cards

Growth starts with the right financial partner. And for Hope & Help, we’re honored to be that partner.

When Leadership Leads by Example

In the video you’ll see their CEO, Thresa Giles, speak about why this partnership matters to them. Watching their team sign up together was a reminder that strong business banking isn’t just about transactions - it’s about relationships that extend beyond the boardroom.

Our business banking platform supports organizations like Hope & Help with:

• Business checking
• Business savings
• Business money market accounts

Better Banking for Organizations That Serve Others

When a nonprofit that has spent decades protecting public health chooses USF CU as their financial partner, it reinforces why we reimagined our approach to business banking in the first place.

We’re proud to support the work being done every day in our community.

If your organization is ready for a financial partner who understands growth, impact and mission, we’d love to start the conversation.
