| Credit Union ONE President/CEO Gary Moody presents Michelle Witulski with her Grand Prize Check of $1,500 |
Where else would you have the opportunity to win $1,500 and help the environment at the same time? The ‘It Pays To Go Green” sweepstakes, which ran from May 15, 2011 – June 30, 2011, encouraged members to enroll in Online Bill Pay and automatically be entered to win one of three amazing prizes. The contest was open to all members of nine participating credit unions who were checking account holders in good standing, who were at least 18 years old by May 15, 2011 and were legal U.S. residents.
Credit Union ONE member Michelle Witulski was thrilled to find out that she was the $1,500 grand prize winner of the contest. For the Beaumont Hospital employee, time is very important. “Bill Pay is fast, easy and convenient; and it only takes a few seconds to pay the bills,” said Witulski.
Other prizes awarded to Credit Union ONE members included an Amazon Kindle™, and seven 10-piece garden sets.
During the sweepstakes, Credit Union ONE added 680 new online bill pay users in just 45 days! Their membership averages 54,000+ payments and close to $16 million paid per month using online bill pay.
Online Bill Pay is free to enroll, easy to use and saves the environment in the process. If only 20% of US households switched to electronic bills, statements and payments, over 1.8 million trees would be saved each year!
“With Online Bill Pay we’re giving our members an opportunity to switch to online payments which makes bill management a simple process and protects the environment,” said Kristopher Brosnihan, Credit Union ONE Web Analyst. “This sweepstakes was a great opportunity for us to reward our loyal members for their commitment to going green.”
