...this isn’t the explosive kind of origin story that normally gets people excited so you’ll have to trust us that there was (and still is) plenty of drama behind the scenes...

It’s with enormous gratitude, but heavy hearts that we in the Simplicity Family must announce the departure of Pat Wesenberg, President/CEO of Simplicity CU.

For the third year in a row, Simplicity CU has been named one of the Best Credit Unions to Work For in the United States by Credit Union Journal.
