Members also benefited from free consultations with certified credit counselors through our relationship with BALANCE. We look forward to expanding this program in 2018. As we close our 75th year celebration, SESLOC is still committed to our educational roots. This year we provided nearly $21,000 in Education Grants to 43 schools in San Luis Obispo and Northern Santa Barbara County.

Your membership in the Credit Union helps build financial strength and stability not only for the Credit Union, but also for you, and in turn, for the communities in which we live and work. Each month we awarded multiple SESLOC Education Grants to local schools to support projects that enriched student learning and would not be possible without outside funding. Our free financial seminars drew over 600 attendees looking for reliable information from a trusted source. In addition, we provided financial education to a variety of community groups, including high school classes, Lucia Mar School District Parents, Career Path teens, Head Start parents, and others. We supported several local nonprofit groups, including Jack s Helping Hand, Family Care Network, and our local food banks. SESLOC also had the largest fundraising team at the Miracle Miles for Kids event, which benefits local foster care programs.

s Message SESLOC had some important achievements in. First, SESLOC completed a 15-month project to convert to a new core operating system. The dedication and commitment of the SESLOC staff, as well our members patience and cooperation, resulted in a very smooth transition. So thank you one and all. This conversion laid the groundwork for key projects in 2018. These include a more robust online banking system, new payment systems, small business banking and lending, and remote deposit capture for merchants. Your SESLOC Board of s continually reviews the rapid changes that occur in the financial marketplace and meets annually to update its five-year strategic plan, which provides a roadmap for future growth and development and maintains SESLOC s strong reputation. Each smartphone deposit represents a person who would otherwise be standing in line at a branch. We had strong financials in. As you know, loans are the foundation for healthy growth. In we originated $172 million in loans, resulting in a $37 million net growth in our loan portfolio. Auto loans continued at a steady pace, while commercial real estate loans saw a 47% increase. HELOCs increased 24%, and we passed $200 million in residential mortgage loans, which provide housing throughout our counties. More than half of our members use online banking, and last year we processed 57,478 mobile deposits a total of $29.5 million. Each smartphone deposit represents one person who would otherwise be standing in line at a branch. SESLOC ended with assets of $797 million and a net worth of $71 million. Our capital ratio grew to 9.19%, which regulators consider well-capitalized. This growth allowed us to expand our technology infrastructure and add additional services for members, including a new ATM in the San Luis Obispo Airport. It is your confidence and use of Credit Union services that has made SESLOC the largest locally headquartered financial institution. We thank you for your trust and support.
