Headquartered in North Augusta, SC, SRP FCU has established itself as a cornerstone of the region's financial landscape, providing a comprehensive range of financial products and services to individuals, families, and businesses across its service area.

Over time, SRP FCU has grown and evolved, expanding its reach and offerings while maintaining its core values of member service and community involvement. Its $1.7 billion asset size places it among the larger credit unions in the state, signifying its significant impact on the local economy and the financial lives of its members. This scale allows SRP FCU to offer competitive products, invest in technology and infrastructure, and support community development initiatives. At the helm of this robust organization is Liz Ponder, a trailblazing leader who has made history as the first African-American CEO of a credit union in the South. Her appointment marks a pivotal moment for both SRP Federal Credit Union and the broader financial industry in the region. In a sector where leadership has historically lacked diversity, Ponder's ascent to the CEO position represents a significant step towards greater inclusivity and representation at the highest levels.

Cultivating Organizational Culture: Leading and inspiring a team of employees, fostering a positive and inclusive work environment that prioritizes member service and collaboration. As the first African-American CEO of a credit union of this size and stature in the South, Liz Ponder carries a profound significance that extends beyond the operational aspects of her role. Her leadership serves as: A Beacon of Progress: It signifies a tangible step forward in breaking down racial barriers within the financial industry in a region with a complex history. Her presence demonstrates that leadership opportunities are becoming more accessible to individuals from diverse backgrounds. An Inspiration for Future Leaders: Ponder's achievement serves as a powerful role model for aspiring African-American professionals and other underrepresented groups in finance, showing them that executive leadership is within reach. A Catalyst for Change: Her leadership has the potential to influence the culture and practices within SRP FCU and potentially inspire other financial institutions in the South to prioritize diversity and inclusion in their own leadership ranks. A Voice for Inclusivity: Ponder's unique perspective and experiences can inform the credit union's approach to serving its diverse membership, ensuring that its products and services are equitable and meet the needs of all community members.

    Episode 2073 - Financial Wellness for Renters with LOFT App
    May 6 2025
    Isabelle Stapf, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Payments, at RealPage gave us an exclusive on their new LOFT app. Demand for apartments is at a record high, with renters signing new leases and renewing their existing stays in droves. Residents’ expectations have also increased as they want their renting experience to be as seamless as the rest of their online life. That means integrated technology, financial wellness tools and rewards for their loyalty. RealPage, the leading provider of AI-enabled software platforms to the real estate industry, is addressing the needs of modern residents through an innovative technology called LOFT. RealPage created this new mobile app as a one-stop solution for a fulfilling apartment lifestyle from leasing to living, with easy move-in guidance, a financial wellness platform and a loyalty program to earn rewards when residents pay rent on time. Residents can pay their way, through their digital wallet, by snapping a picture of a check or splitting it into smaller chunks. Since launching in early 2025, RealPage’s LOFT is already being offered by more than 500 apartment properties across America, giving more than three million residents access to LOFT, with many more to come. “Residents, and especially digital natives, demand digital experiences as part their apartment living lifestyles,” said Isabelle Meyer Stapf, RealPage Senior Vice President and General Manager, Payments. “Through LOFT, RealPage is prioritizing financial wellness for renters, bringing them solutions to earn rewards, make flexible rent payments and build their credit.” LOFT also simplifies the renter’s journey from leasing to living. LOFT Leasing is a first-of-its-kind leasing experience that guides residents through application, approval and signing – with AI capabilities to streamline the back and forth. LOFT Moving enables a simplified moving experience for residents with a configurable moving checklist and integrations with local providers to order utilities, internet and moving services. And LOFT Loyalty allows residents to earn points for paying rent online and on time with any payment method. Residents can then redeem those points for rewards from airline and hotel travel to local restaurants and movie theatres. Property managers find value in LOFT, as their residents have one app for all of their essential tasks. Jess Molasky, Chief Operating Officer of Ovation, a RealPage customer who owns and manages apartments throughout the country added, “If I can reward my residents to show up, if I can reward my residents to make payments on time, and again, if I can have that stronger relationship because their moving experience was a good one, we become their ally.” Visit loftliving.com to learn more.

  • Episode 2072 - AIZOME: Conscious Comfort

    Episode 2072 - AIZOME: Conscious Comfort
    May 5 2025
    AIZOME's genesis was not merely a business venture; it was a deeply personal and impassioned creation, stemming from a fundamental belief rooted in care and consideration. The founders held a conviction that the materials so intimately connected to human life – the very textiles that form our clothing and furnish our environments – possessed an unrealized potential. They envisioned a radical departure from the conventional, often detrimental, practices of the textile industry. Instead of perpetuating harm through the use of persistent bioaccumulative substances (PFAs) and dyes known to be carcinogenic, their aspiration was to cultivate a new paradigm where textiles actively contributed to well-being, both for the individual and the planet. Their initial focus was intimately tied to the tangible needs of human comfort and health. They sought an alternative to the ubiquitous presence of harmful chemicals that silently permeated the fabrics we wore against our skin and within the spaces where we sought rest. The dream was of textiles capable of providing genuine relief to those experiencing the discomfort of itchy and inflamed skin conditions, offering a soothing touch where irritation once existed. Furthermore, they imagined the creation of truly restorative home environments, cozy havens where bodies could naturally recuperate during sleep, enveloped in materials verifiably free from the myriad of questionable and often intentionally undisclosed chemical additives that plague conventional textiles. This was not simply about achieving a superficial sense of comfort; it was about establishing an environment of genuine safety and promoting profound, chemical-free restoration for the human body. However, the journey undertaken by AIZOME, now a testament to over a decade of dedicated research, relentless innovation, and an unwavering commitment to their founding principles, has revealed a far more expansive and interconnected truth. What began as a focused endeavor to produce healthier textiles for individual human bodies has gradually unfolded into a profound understanding of the intricate relationship between human well-being and the health of the entire planet. Through their extensive exploration of textile production and its impact, they have come to recognize that the health of the textiles we use is inextricably linked to the vitality of our ecosystems, the purity of our water sources, and the very quality of the air we breathe. The stark and often alarming realization of the conventional textile industry's significant contribution to environmental degradation – through pollution, resource depletion, and unsustainable practices – has served to amplify their initial commitment into a broader, more encompassing mission. Therefore, the assertion that the health of textiles profoundly impacts the very essence of well-being on this planet is not made lightly or without substantial consideration. While it might initially sound dramatic, perhaps even hyperbolic, the founders of AIZOME have arrived at this conviction through rigorous investigation and the undeniable weight of evidence regarding the far-reaching consequences of conventional textile production. Their commitment extends beyond the individual consumer to encompass a deep responsibility for the environmental impact of their industry. AIZOME is driven by the resolute belief that a fundamentally different approach to textile creation is not only achievable but is, in fact, an ethical imperative. They are dedicated to pioneering and promoting a future where textiles are no longer a source of environmental burden or potential harm, but rather an active force for good – nurturing the health and comfort of individuals while simultaneously sustaining the delicate ecological balance of our planet. This comprehensive vision, born from that initial spark of love and expanded through years of learning, forms the very core of AIZOME's identity and serves as the unwavering compass guiding every decision and innovation they pursue.

    Episode 2069- Barash's 'Estranged' Decodes Female Friendship
    Apr 28 2025
    Husbands, partners, and jobs come and go, but close friendships are our bedrock. Until they’re not. What happens when these bonds sabotage instead of support? Who among us has the courage to walk away? And how can we protect ourselves from further heartbreak? In her provocative new book, “Estranged: How Strained Female Friendships are Mended or Ended,” (Meridian Editions) well-known gender expert and bestseller Susan Shapiro Barash takes a deep dive into the complexities of female friendships. By peeling back the societal narrative that our friendships are meant to last forever, she uncovers a more nuanced reality: the closest bonds do falter. Through groundbreaking research and 150 interviews with women aged 20 to 80, Barash reveals an emerging trend — estrangement among female friends. She uncovered how these suboptimal friendships can impact mental health, why women avoid conflict even in damaging relationships, the emotional trauma of cutting ties with a friend and estrangement as a radical yet necessary act of self-preservation. She challenges women to reimagine their friendships and take the bold step of letting go when necessary. This cutting-edge book offers an empowering path forward: learning to prioritize self-worth, stability and authenticity over loyalty to friendships that no longer serve us. Barash has written several nonfiction books, including Tripping the Prom Queen, and A Passion for More: Affairs that Make or Break Us. She taught gender studies at Marymount Manhattan and has guest taught creative nonfiction at Sarah Lawrence’s Writing Institute. She was featured in The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, New York Post, Chicago Tribune, Elle, Marie Claire, and has appeared on TODAY, Good Morning America, CBS, CNN, and MSNBC and as a guest on NPR and Sirius. She was a panelist for the New York State Council on the Arts, a judge for the International Emmys, and Vice Chair of the Mentoring Committee of the Women’s Leadership Board at Harvard’s JFK School of Government.
