With our Eau Claire branch having only been open about a month & a grand opening planned for the warmer seasons we are pushing a “Soft-Launch” Promo. A HUGE share certificate rate that can only be opened in branch, at Eau Claire, with money not previously held at SCCU, for three weeks only. This encourages the EC community to look into SCCU & become new members, all while getting an awesome savings rate!
WE’RE GETTING THE BAND BACK TOGETHER! FOR OUR FIRST EVER FEBRUARY ALL-STAFF GET TOGETHER. We promise that this party will be different than all the rest with a humongous focus on how we present ourselves (SCCU) to our members and communities. But don’t worry, we plan to have just as much fun as normal! More details to come :)
We wouldn’t be here without you, we see the compliments from our members on how great our staff is, and we see it with our own eyes. These Member Service Standards weren’t put in place because because we lack in the service department, we implemented them for the opposite, want to continue our awesome service and make sure all employees and trainees know how important service is to SCCU and our members.
I’ve been in the banking industry for 33 years. I started as a teller and worked in most every department of a financial institution with the exception of IT and Marketing. I have 2 adult daughters and 2 grandchildren (4 years and 18 months). My significant other & I own a propane company in Hayward –“Hayward Propane” I love traveling, music, snowmobiling, and college football (Go Badgers!!!)
I lead and manage the credit union’s loan portfolio for all loan types, supervise the work of lending staff members, ensure long term profit growth, and minimize risk through the development and enforcement of policies and procedures.
Currently the lending departments are separated and reporting to two different executives. By adding a CLO, all facets of lending will be unified and represented by one Executive on the Leadership Team and to the Board of Directors.
All of Lending. Consumer, Mortgage, and Commercial
“The Living Years” after one of my favorite 80’s songs
Neither. My vice is Diet Coke!
WHAT IS ONE OF YOUR GOALS FOR THE NEW YEAR?
To work with the Lending Department’s VPs to fully understand and develop a plan for all areas of lending at SCCU.
IF YOU COULD CHOOSE ANY TWO FAMOUS PEOPLE TO HAVE DINNER WITH, WHO WOULD THEY BE?
Jay & Roshni Shetty. Jay is a vlogger, bestselling author, health podcast host, and purpose coach from the UK. I really enjoy his podcasts and Facebook posts. I think any discussions with him would be very interesting and motivational. His wife is not famous but just as interesting!
WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST JOB?
I grew up on a resort south of Hayward. My first job was cleaning cabins and later waiting tables in the lodge.
IF YOU COULD BE ON A REALITY TV SHOW, WHICH WOULD YOU CHOOSE? I would be a contestant on Cake Wars. I am far from a professional baker, but I’ve always enjoyed baking and decorating cakes, especially for my kids and grandkids birthdays and other special occasions.
This fundraiser was created to keep community at the center of what we do at SCCU. Due to awesome partnerships with UWS & UMD, we had spaces in two hockey arenas that needed to be designed and raise brand awareness around SCCU. But who are we without our members & community? That’s why we decided to create a fundraiser that simultaneously helped us “Fill the Check” and raise money for youth hockey.
• Hockey pucks will be for sale at our Twin Ports locations for both members & employees to purchase
• Pucks are $20 each - All proceeds go to youth hockey
• Purchased hockey pucks will be displayed on the walls at either Wessman or Amsoil Arenas!
• Denfeld & Hermantown purchases will be displayed at Amsoil Arena
• Tower & East End purchases will be displayed at Wessman Arena
• If you buy a puck at Admin, the pucks will be divvied out based on which display is short.
• Are you a hockey fan?
We have a fundraiser going on where if you buy a puck the proceeds go straight towards youth hockey! PLUS, you get your puck on display at the UMD or UWS hockey arena!
• Did you know we are doing a youth hockey fundraiser! If you want to donate or learn more, head over to that table and buy a puck with a teller!
1. Members & Non-members will "purchase" a puck with a teller. Pucks are $20 each.
2. Members can choose to pay cash for the puck or have it taken directly out of thier account. Non-members will have to pay cash (Tell them about our convenient ATMs!).
3. The money should go straight into the Hockey Association’s account
4. Give the purchaser a puck & a marker to decorate their puck or simply just write their name on the puck. Remind them to return the puck into the bucket (point to the bucket)
5. A team member from the Community Engagement or Marketing team will swing by and pick them up when we get word that the buckets are filling up.
We just launched a groundbreaking, first-of-its-kind product! Presenting *drum roll please* our new Round-Up Share Certificates (2.23% APY). This matches the same roundup mechanism as the round-up savings product we’ve already had, but instead of moving money into a savings account, it saves the money to a 12-month share certificate that’s going to earn interest. RUN, SCREAM, TELL OUR MEMBERS! This is a great product to cross-sell when a member is opening a checking account!
Our best certificate rate & our shortest promo brought the credit union in $16,000,000, I repeat, 16 MILLION DOLLARS within 7 DAYS!! In comparison, our 4.30% promo has brought in $50 million in 62 Days. 4.90%: $2.2MIL PER DAY 4.30%: $806K PER DAY
