Message from Steve
Once again your Financial Institution has just completed another solid year of operations with the added improvement of various Products and Services being made available to our
WECU members.
This year was a challenging one with the recent changes to the Woolworths Employees payroll system, only being able to send all of your salary to one Finan-cial Institution instead of in the past being able to split your pay-roll to various Credit Unions/ Building Societies and Banks.
Here at WECU we worked tirelessly in trying to assist you with this change. In many cases members moved their whole of pay to WECU to address this issue. Other members completed our fee free Direct Debit Request form to be able to continue
to send their Christmas Club funds, Insurance funds or loan repayments to WECU and continue to enjoy the benefits of being a member.
Thank you for remaining Loyal Supporting WECU members.
A new Financial Year with more new and exciting Products and Services on the way and the Launch of our fourth $5,000 Student Scholarship Award as well as the chance to Win a Brand New Mazda 2 - don’t miss out.
Please enjoy reading the Winter - Spring edition of our Newsletter.
Best wishes Steve Sampson General Manager
