Members Win
Credit Unions often look to merger as an avenue for enhancement of member benefits. The paramount consideration for Credit Unions exploring merger opportunities, is the potential for growth and improvement of membership experience. In an increasingly competitive market, Credit Unions must continually expand to provide members with a wide range of services, a large unified network of locations, and the most cutting edge technology.
Credit Unions are all about people. Offering a full range of services allow members and employees to interact and connect more regularly. As members reach out to their credit union to open a college savings account and take out a loan for their first house, the credit union is there supporting the member through these life changing events. As the services a credit union offers expands, it grows member roots deeper into the culture and future of the organization.
It is the mission of successful credit unions to create a strong bond with the community. This bond is nurtured and grown through a strong presence in branch location. As a credit unions branch locations expands, it improves access to a personal banking experience and membership connection will prosper. A strong community presence, will improve ease of access for current members, as well as raise awareness and attract new members.
In today’s technology driven environment, members are continually looking for ways to connect with their credit union. The most successful credit unions look to push the threshold of member connection with services like online banking, mobile apps, P2P payments, and more.
