President’s Message - Membership

Written by Anna May Nauss | Oct 6, 2016 3:58:52 PM

There is a lot of uncertainty in the financial world today. With the recent “big bank” account fraud issues there are many people who do not know where to turn to find a trusted financial partner. With so many options out there, how can one determine the best primary financial institution? At AmeriChoice, we exemplify the “credit union difference”. What does this mean? A credit union is a financial cooperative where decisions are made in the best interest of the members, rather than shareholders, because each member has an ownership stake in the credit union. As a member owner, you vote to choose the Board of Directors that governs and makes important decisions on the future of the credit union. Everything is transparent to members because we truly exist to help people meet their financial goals. A credit union is involved in the community, giving back in small business lending, volunteer time, and donations to community organizations.

At AmeriChoice, we never want there to be confusion about the service that you will experience when you come in to a branch, call us on the phone, or communicate with us on the computer. So, what can you expect when you interact with our staff?

Respect-Our employees will listen to you and learn your needs. Regardless of your financial situation, we will help find the best solution possible for you.

Transparency-We are with you every step of the way in the account opening and loan application process. We will share with you the information necessary to improve your financial situation and meet your financial goals going forward.

Financial Education-Teaching members and non-members about important financial topics is key to creating a knowledgeable and financially responsible community.

The Tools You Need to Bank Anywhere, Anytime-With online and mobile banking, mobile check deposits and the credit union ATM network of over 35,000 no-surcharge ATMS in the U.S. and Canada, we make it easy to transact hassle free on your own time.

A Personalized Financial Plan-We believe strongly in providing the right products and services to the right person at the right time. If a product or service makes sense for you, we will be sure to let you know how it can help, if not, we will not try to “sell” you on anything unnecessary.

You are a Member, Not a Number-Here you are not just an account number. Our team gets to know you as a person, and will call you by name. We care about you and what is important to you. We want to help you meet your goals, both personal and financial, and we will be there to help when things may not be going great.
