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.

Fraud keeps rearing its (very) ugly head so it’s probably one of the top things we write about, post about, talk about, and, honestly, worry about here on the Simplicity CU team...
