In this episode of the Simplicity Show podcast we talk to Nick Faber, our new CFO, (A.K.A. The Eagle) and definitively answer the age-old question: How funny can an Accountant be? (You were wondering, admit it.)
Disclaimer: No Accountants or Marketers were harmed – either physically or mentally – during the recording of this podcast.
Hey, take a deep breath, hold it, now slowly exhale.. good.. now do that one more time: Deep breath.. hold it.. exhale… Doesn’t that feel better?
Now keep taking slow, relaxed breaths because we want to talk to you about something that feels a little scary. We promise it won’t by the time we’re done, but sometimes just being told not to panic makes you panic a little.
We’re going to talk about the stock market (breathe) and mortgage rates (deep, slow breaths, friend) and by the time we’re done it will all seem ok, OK?
Every time we turn around here at Simplicity CU we see another one of our friends that also happens to be a great resource for all kinds of useful info.
A little while ago, we caught up with our buddy Derek Freis, (recently promoted) VP of Member Business Lending and picked his ample brain. We talked about how important it is for him to know a member’s story, the effect of the Member Business Lending Cap, and found out who was the Shaggy to his Scooby-Doo.
We are proud to present The Simplicity Show Episode 3: Down to Business with Derek.
Welcome back! You’ve made it to Part Two in our series where we’re making the (pretty air-tight) case that Cheese Curds and Credit Unions have a lot in common. If you missed Part One we suggest you indulge in a little binge-reading (which is totally a thing we just made up) and go there first.
Ready to roll? It’s time to talk about why we love squeaky things and you should too.
You may ask yourself, “Self, what IS the difference between a Credit Union and a Bank?”.
We could (have/will) go on and on about that topic here on our blog (also at birthday parties, family dinners, if you stopped us to ask for directions, etc.) but for the sake of economy, let us draw you a comparison that we think will hit our ‘Sconnie members right where it counts.
Consider the Cheese Curd, friends.
Here’s What You Need to Know About “Same Day ACH”

The work to bring you a newer, cooler online banking platform is marching on and we’re back with some dates you’ll want to know. (If you missed the announcement about our new online banking, you can see it on our June Blog).
Because of all the great services inside our current online banking, there are a few steps you’ll see below that might not apply to you at all.
