You can also sign up for an automatic payment service that practically eliminates the need to write and mail checks for regular bills, such as utilities. With Web access comes email communication. The Credit Union managers are now regularly receiving comments and kudos from members by email.
Members can also sign up for email announcements.
Credit Union members have been enthusiastic about the new service. By the end of 2000, about 30 new members a week were signing up for the online service, and the Credit Union was processing the applications in two days or less. Membership in the Credit Union itself has been going up, at least partly due to this new convenient service. It's a result of careful planning and implementation. An application had to be selected and installed, then tested and fine-tuned.
