Credit Union ONE goes to Lansing for its’ members

Credit Union ONE Compliance and Regulatory Affairs Manager Steve Dedene
testifies before the House Criminal Justice Committee.

Ferndale, Michigan – In an effort to keep their members’ funds safe and secure, Credit Union ONE’s Compliance and Regulatory Affairs Manager, Steve Dedene, along with another local credit union testified on behalf of the MCUL in front of the state House Criminal Justice Committee regarding a package of five bills related to ATM card skimming last week.

The package of bills included enhancing laws to make “skimming” a criminal offense thereby protecting members, and the prohibiting of skimming devices for sale or possession.

The Committee unanimously supported all five bills which have now been sent to the full House for a vote.  If passed, the bills will move to the Senate for consideration.

Credit Union ONE feels this legislation is necessary to protect its’ members and give them a voice by providing the necessary amendments to serve as a deterrent from committing skimming crimes and ensuring that those suspected, tried, and convicted of these crimes will be punished in a manner that is sufficient for the type of crime they are committing. 

“Ensuring that members are protected against fraudulent activity such as skimming is a top priority for Credit Union ONE,” said Dedene.  “These bills provide those protections.”

The credit union is hopeful that the legislature will pass and the governor signs the package of bills before the holiday season.

Credit Union ONE is giving away money!

 



Lucky Money Giveaway winners
 Dan Zalewski & Marisela Bobo



Ferndale, Michigan – Have you ever gotten more than you asked for at an ATM? Well, if you visited the Credit Union ONE Grand Rapids branch in July and used their ATM that might have happened to you.

This past month, those using the machine located at 1609 Walker NW in Grand Rapids may randomly have received a $50 bill instead of a $20 bill in their transaction. Approximately $2,000 was given out to lucky recipients.

The promotion which ran from July 10th through July 31st was designed to create awareness of the ATM and branch location, support the current branch efforts, and to show member appreciation.

And speaking of appreciation, according to Credit Union ONE Grand Rapids Branch Manager Sharon Blower, “It was wonderful that so many people came in concerned that they received too much money, but when they realized the additional money was theirs to keep as a thank you for their patronage, they were very excited!”

Promotional marketing efforts included email blasts to Grand Rapids Branch members, online banking notifications, flyers that were posted in the branch and on the ATM, as well as Facebook postings during the month of July.

During the event, a couple of winners volunteered for a photo, which were posted on Facebook generating some good conversation. Some of the comments included questions regarding whether we were going to do this in other locations and when.

Although no other promotions like this have been scheduled, Credit Union ONE is looking at scheduled more “Money Give-Aways” in the future.

Credit Union ONE, headquartered in Ferndale Michigan for over seventy years, offers a wide array of financial services and access to over 28,000 ATM’s nationwide, serving 106,000 members, with eighteen offices in three major metropolitan areas, including Metro Detroit, Grand Rapids and Traverse City.
