From doubling your rewards to staying smart with holiday spending, this month’s edition is packed with tips, stories, and seasonal inspiration to help you finish the year strong.

CREDIT UNION VALUES

Growing the Nordstrom FCU Family

One of the best parts of being part of a credit union is knowing you’re part of something bigger—people helping people. Credit unions are built on cooperation, not competition, which means profits are returned to members through better rates, lower fees, and personal service that puts people first.


When you invite someone to join Nordstrom Federal Credit Union, you’re helping extend that care to another member of the Nordstrom family. It’s a simple way to share the benefits that make credit unions special—and it feels good to do.


As a thank-you, both you and the person you refer will receive $40* when they open an account and keep it in good standing for 60 days.


Learn more about our referral program and help grow the Credit Union family today.

SMART SPENDING
Stay Safe While You Shop

Holiday deals are everywhere this time of year, which makes it the perfect time to double-check your online shopping habits. A few smart steps can help you keep your information and your money safe:

  • Shop securely. Use trusted websites and private Wi-Fi connections whenever possible.
  • Watch for scams. Ignore unexpected texts or emails about “order updates” or “shipping issues.”
  • Protect your cards. Don’t store payment details on retail sites you rarely use.
  • Check your accounts often. Review your Nordstrom FCU accounts in online or mobile banking for unfamiliar transactions.
  • Keep your passwords strong. Use unique, complex passwords and update them regularly.

Pro Tip: Your Credit Union will never call, text, or email asking for your PIN or login details. If something doesn’t feel right, contact us directly—we’re here to help keep you safe!

A COZY NIGHT IN
Fun That Fits Any Budget!

Our team had a great time dressing up as Disney princesses for Halloween, which got us thinking...sometimes the most fun comes from creativity, not cost.


A family movie night is a simple, budget-friendly way to bring everyone together. Try letting each person choose a theme or film, make homemade snacks, and build your own “theater” with pillows and blankets. You’ll save on tickets and concessions while still creating a night everyone will remember.


Financial wellness doesn’t always mean big changes. It’s also about finding joy in moments that don’t cost much at all.

IN THE COMMUNITY

A Great Day at Southcenter

We had such a great time visiting the Nordstrom Southcenter Full Line and Rack stores last month. Thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hello and learn more about us!


A special thank-you to Ariel and Store Manager Aleks for the warm welcome, and to Rosie at the Rack for sharing her incredible spirit and amazing hat collection. We were also inspired by the Shoes That Fit fundraiser and the generosity we saw in action across both teams.


It’s always uplifting to connect with the people who bring the Nordstrom experience to life. Thank you, Southcenter, for reminding us what community looks like!
