The $1.2 billion Polish and Slavic Federal Credit Union has drawn international attention for its work with the Polish community.

Slawomir Skrzypek, president of the National Bank of Poland, praised the Polish & Slavic Federal Credit Union for its progressive programs, sound investment strategy and unyielding commitment to Poland and Polish-Americans, the credit union said in announcement of the visit.

"You can all be proud of your credit union," said Skrzypek. "It is no secret that PSFCU has become a symbol of Polonia's financial strength. So quite naturally, planning my trip to the US, I made a point to find out first-hand what stands behind your success. You are doing a fantastic job," the CU quoted the executive.

At an evening meeting at the PSFCU headquarters in Brooklyn, Skrzypek was briefed on the history and achievements of the largest ethnic credit union in the country, and, in turn, spoke candidly with the PSFCU's board of directors about the state of the Polish economy.

"It was a true honor to have such a distinguished official spend time getting to know us, our members and how we do business," said Mr. Bogdan Chmielewski, PSFCU's CEO. "This is a sign of how financial leaders-here and in Poland-are increasingly recognizing the strides and successes we've made in our credit union and acknowledging the positive impact of the credit union movement as a whole."
