As many of you may have heard, the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) took control of two corporate credit unions, U.S. Central Federal Credit Union (US Central) and Western Corporate Federal Credit Union (Wescorp), on Friday, March 20.

MyVantage enrollment continues into week three. Statistics to date:

Number of active accounts:    23,542
Number of members who successfully auto-enrolled:   19,894
Number of e-statements: 24,767

Why is the last statistic such a great success? Because it’s a faster, safer, more efficient way for us to provide your statements. Not to mention, it saves the credit union a lot of money on printing and postage, and, statements remain viewable and available to you indefinitely. The number of e-statements listed above is an increase of 171% over our original number of e-statement enrollees, definitely a step in the right direction for Vantage!

On my last post I talked about how tough it is sometimes to explain how credit unions are different than banks. We can spend thousands of dollars trying to explain the difference in structure (stockholders versus member-ownership) and the benefits that brings. Credit union members understand, because they know the benefits firsthand. But people at large, they don’t know. So they sometimes can’t understand how credit union membership can really make that much of a difference in their financial lives.
