Angel Townsend has been the Compliance Officer at Toledo Urban Federal Credit Union since October 2023 and is one of the newest members of the team. The work the credit union is doing in the community, including building a new resource center, is what attracted her to come on board.<\/p>\n

Townsend is a Toledo native, graduating from Rogers High School and the University of Toledo. Previously she worked for ProMedica for 17 years as a medical appeals coordinator and, prior to that, at an attorney\u2019s office. She is also the co-owner of Townsend Remodeling with her husband Billy Dee Townsend and brings her wealth of experience to TUFCU.<\/p>\n

Townsend mostly works behind the scenes researching and writing the policies for the credit union making sure that the business and departments are up to date. \u201cI manage everything that the credit union needs to operate to be abiding by the regulations. We had to put new policies in place once we got over 15 million in assets.\u201d She ensures the credit union runs smoothly at the next level.<\/p>\n

Townsend lives in the same neighborhood as the credit union and has seen the impact of the credit union firsthand.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are a lot of opportunities the credit union brings. The things that a lot of people in the area can\u2019t get going to a traditional bank, they\u2019re able to finance a car going through the credit union because we don\u2019t discriminate\u2026 we\u2019ll give them the loan. People are just bettering themselves with opportunities the credit union gives them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I came on board, I knew Suzette was here for the community but, when I started, I saw people come in for prayer. You get all different types of people. It made me understand the reason we needed this resource center. You get people coming in saying they don\u2019t have food, they need resources. They come to us for everything. It\u2019s not just financial.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re here to pray with you, we\u2019re here to give you a hug, give you a comment.\u201d She remarked that the team has prayer in the office every morning and the community gathers for prayer the first and the third days of every month in the mornings at the credit union.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s definitely a need for the resource center so that they have somewhere they can go and have people there to help them with the services they need and can point them in the right direction. That\u2019s what it\u2019s all about. Helping the community\u201d<\/p>\n
