Bay Atlantic Offers BankingServices to Select EmployerGroups

The Kimble Federal Credit Union was

founded more than 75 years ago by a

group of co-workers who wanted to sup-

port the financial needs of their friends

and families. Today, the Bay Atlantic

Federal Credit Union continues to thrive

as an area lending and banking institu-

tion still committed to providing a host

of modern and efficient financial services

to its members.

Now, with assets totaling nearly $53

million and more than 8,200 members,

the credit union supports generations of

local families and businesses. In fact, Bay

Atlantic serves more than 176 area com-

panies that they consider select employ-

ee groups.

“Bay Atlantic is excited to work with

employer groups of all sizes,” Gail

Marino, BAFCU President & CEO said.

“No business is too large or too small to

join. The same dedicated service is pro-

vided to each employer group, whether

they are made up of 400 employees or a

handful of people.”

According to Marino, more employers

are recognizing the need to not only help

their employees succeed professionally,

but also financially. She added, “Credit

union membership is free to the employ-

er and serves as a wonderful addition to

employee benefit packages.”

Bay Atlantic’s Business Development

Team brings a mobile information center

to work locations where select employer

group members can learn more about

their lending and banking services. Bi-

lingual customer representatives even

meet one-on-one with employees to

ensure all members or prospective mem-

bers have complete information.

“We are constantly exploring opportu-

nities to enhance our members’ banking

experience,” Marino said. “Bay Atlantic

offers free financial literacy seminars and

one-on-one debt counseling for members

experiencing a financial challenge. Our

commitment is to help our members

achieve financial success while provid-

ing quality, friendly service.”

Bay Atlantic Federal Credit Union has

two local branches—on Elmer Road in

Vineland, which also serves as headquar-

ters for the organization, and on Second

Street in Millville.

Employees of Chem Glass on North MillRoad in Vineland have enjoyed creditunion membership since 2011. Creditunion staff members recently joined theChem Glass team for a partners photo.Pictured are (front) BAFCU President GailMarino, Phyllis D’Agostino, KelseyAndrews, Jacki Eilenberg and Rob Puglisi.In back are Doug Kobriger, Chem GlassLife Sciences Vice President Dave Surdam,BAFCU Business Development DirectorDebbie Perkins and Michael Simms.

LEGISLATIVECORNER

of our members to advance

responsible public policy that

ensures the business communi-

ty has the resources, infrastruc-

ture, and opportunities to keep

our region’s economy strong

and growing. The GVCC Legislative Committee wants you to know about some

pieces of legislation that may affect your business.

The GVCC is in full support of proposed bill A4120. Both of our District 1

Assemblyman Andrzejczak and Assemblyman Fiocchi co-sponsored this bill. We

will continue to follow it as it moves in the Assembly.

• A4120 STATEMENT

This bill extends the designation of urban enterprise zones (UEZs) in the cities

of Bridgeton, Camden, Newark, Plainfield, Trenton, and the joint UEZ in the cities

of Millville and Vineland for a one-time period of 10 years, thus continuing their

participation in the Urban Enterprise Zone Program. The 10-year extension of

these UEZs is required to be designated within 90 days of the date of the expira-

tion of the first 15 years that these UEZs were extended under current law.

Qualifying retail businesses in the UEZs are to be entitled to collect half of the

State’s sales and use tax (SUT).

The bill provides that, after dedicating 10 percent of the reduced rate SUT

revenues to the New Jersey Urban Enterprise Zone Authority:

1) during the first three-year extension period, the remaining revenues collect-

ed are to be appropriated for use by the UEZs in these cities;

2) during the second three-year extension period, 66 and 2/3 percent of the

remaining revenues collected are to be appropriated for use by the UEZs in these

cities and the remaining 33 and 2/3 percent are to be deposited in the General

Fund;

3) during the third three-year extension period, 33 and 2/3 percent of the

remaining revenues collected are to be appropriated for use by the UEZs in these

cities and the remaining 66 and 2/3 percent are to be deposited in the General

Fund; and

4) in the final year, all remaining revenues are to be appropriated to the

General Fund.
