Blog

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.

Hey, it’s you again! Great to see you back here for the third installment of our Blog series! Oh, wait, did you just wander in out of the cold? Check out #1 and #2 first to experience all of our cheesy goodness.

Ready? It’s time to get down to the good stuff.

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”

Let’s start here: If you’re a person (and we know you are) with a checking or savings account somewhere (anywhere), odds are that changes to the rules that govern electronic deposits and withdrawals are going to affect you and we’re here to tell you about it so read on.

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. If you don’t use a specific feature, no worries, you can skip over that info. (Unless of course it peaks your interest and you want to TRY something new, in that case give us a call for more details!)

Our team is working on an amazing new online banking platform that we plan to launch in August. We’re excited to tell you all of the details – and there are a lot of details to tell – over the next several weeks, so keep checking back and stay in the loop.

We’ve mentioned that having experts around all of the time is amazing, right? It’s awesome.

In this month’s podcast, we sat down with one of our newest experts, Jason Buchinger. Jason is our resident Financial Advisor with Simplicity Retirement and Investment Services and we found out a little about him and how he’s helping our members make the complex simple each and every day.

We are proud to present The Simplicity Show Episode 2: Jason’s Financial Advice.
