How long have you been with SCCU?

I’ve been with SCCU for 8 years.

Do you have any recent accomplishments?

I was recently promoted to a Specialty Accounts Coordinator!

Who’s on your team?

SpecialtyAccounts Coordinator Bill Blomfelt

Heather Davis and Lynda Hagberg are my teammates.

Give us a broad overview of your job.

I assist MES II and MES II’s in troubleshooting their questions pertaining to HSA, IRA, and specialty accounts (guardianship and representative payee accounts), complete quality control on new deposit accounts, review monthly IRA reports and complete IRA tax reporting, and assist my team in any additional projects that come up.

How would you describe your job to a 5 year old?

I make sure new accounts are opened properly.

What does a typical workday look like for you?

Depending on the time of month or year, it varies, but normally I audit new accounts to ensure forms are completed and accounts converted to DNA properly. Projects come up periodically that need immediate attention.

What’s something people don’t know about your job?

Maybe something that people do not think about when it comes to accounts is that I also assist Collections in reviewing checklists that come through for deceased members.

Contents 8

How does your position benefit Members? Employees? What’s its purpose?

My position helps MES II’s/MES III’s approach specialty accounts with more ease, which instills confidence in the service members receive.

What’s the coolest thing you are working on right now?

May is a busy month. I am working on IRA notices, which must be sent out to members who have a periodic distribution from an IRA.

What does your ideal day off look like?

My ideal day off would be spent at a ballpark watching live baseball….with maybe a cold refreshment. Go Brew Crew!

What is your favorite aspect of your job?

I enjoy the variety, from the technical aspect of account audits to corresponding with colleagues to ensure members’ needs are being directly met.

What is something your family did that you thought was normal as a kid, but when you grew up you found out that it’s not?

My family would have dinner together every night. I know it’s more difficult now for families to be able to sit down and share a meal together with the busyness life brings, but times and circumstances are different.

Which holiday has the best food?

By far Thanksgiving.

If you had a sailboat, what would you name it?

The Thirsty Captain.

Do you believe in ghosts?

I do….I do. I do. I do.

What is your gas station snack order?

Arnie Palmer Lite and Combos.

Are sports technically reality TV?

Some of it probably is, but some of the talented athletes would be hard to script. I don’t think Shohei Ohtani needs any lines or prompts.

HCCU Loan Promo

Starting June 1st we are offering HCCU members the perk of getting a $50 bonus when they switch their HCCU consumer (auto, rec, or personal) loan over to SCCU. PLUS, we will even match their current rate & term! As we get closer & closer to the account conversions we are trying to switch as many members over organically as possible.

If members are on edge on whether or not now is the time to switch, let them know $50 could buy them 800 yards of fishing line, 1 pound of wildflower seeds, 5 nice fishing jigs, or a membership to the Cable National History Museum!

Loan Must be previously held at HCCU

Eligible Loans: Auto, personal, recreational

SCCU will match the rate and term!

Move the loan from HCCU to SCCU, Get $50!

Rate Flex Promo

Starting June 12th through August 31st we will be running a Rate Flex promotion on our Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARM). This is a great promotion for members who are scared by the seemingly high interest rates. It will allow those who apply for an ARM during the promotion period to lower their rate during their fixed rate period, they can cash in on the rate flex one time during this period. Think of it as a refinance without the fees!

How It Works:

Apply & get approved for a

ARM by August 31st

Sign rate reduction agreement

2. 4.

If/When the rates lowers, let SCCU know you are ready to take advantage of rate flex

Keep that rate for remaining months of fixed period!

What is an ARM?

ARM= Adjustable Rate Mortgage – Meaning the rate of the mortgage fluctuates based off the market. Rates on ARM’s start with a low fixed rate and the adjustments happen later in the term.

We offer 5/1, 7/1 & 10/1 Adjustable Rate Mortgages. An example of what that means is if a member opens a 5/1 ARM, their rate stays fixed for 5 years and once the 5 years is up, the rate can adjust to the market once a year.

NEW & ONLINE BANKING MOBILE APP

After a bit of a choppy start, we have finally gotten there! Members are able to get into the app and we’ve heard great reviews about the app itself as well as the praising of our amazing and helpful team. Huge shoutout to our in-branch staff & contact center who took a lot of complaints and were able to help our members through the login process. We appreciate all the work you did to help us answer & aid all our members in need. The app will slowly be rolling out new features for our members to take advantage of an help them achieve their financial goals!

Thank
Abigail!

Abigail did an amazing job with our Eau Claire and Rice Lake launch parties! When attending the events, it was clear that Abigail put a lot of thought and effort into the planning and execution of the events. Overall, as an attendee of the events, they were extremely effective with getting the community to come out and enjoy local vendors and pet adoptions.

Without Abigail’s efforts I do not think that the launch parties would have been nearly as effective or fun!
