Sharefax Credit Union
coming soon… A Better System For You Increasing Our Capacity...To Serve You Better We are improving our computer systems to provide a new and improved banking experience for our members.
Message from the President Dear members, The credit union is poised to embark on a new chapter in our long history with a complete upgrade of our information systems including our core computer, bill payer, home and mobile banking products. The journey to this point has been a long and laborious process. It has involved countless hours investigating and comparing various computer systems in order to find the best partner for Sharefax. The search committee focused on systems that would meet our members’ needs now & into the future and targeted core vendors offering significant improvements from our current system, which is over 11 years old. This new core system will provide improved connectivity and seamless movement between various channels. This type of functionality was the key in our decision. Some of the improvements to be expected: • Fully integrated bill payment with online & mobile banking • Online member enrollment • Electronic signatures on loan & membership documents • Person to person payments • Business account analytics • Longer allowed activity time in home banking These improvements will make a huge difference in your ability to interact business with the credit union. However, a change of this magnitude is never an easy transition. Sharefax is making every attempt to educate our members on what to expect and the new processes involved in accessing their accounts. There will be some inconvenience to our members, which cannot be avoided, such as requiring members to reenroll in mobile & home banking and closing our offices for the entire day on Saturday, July 1st. Hopefully, these inconveniences will be minor and the benefits to our members will be quickly apparent. All of these changes are necessary in order to offer cutting edge technology to our members. This is our commitment to you and we will continue to strive to meet all of your financial needs. Sincerely, Arthur J. Kremer President

SIMPLE... eStatements eliminate the clutter of paper statements and allow you to store and retrieve past statements right on your hard drive. SECURE...
