Message from CEO David Waterman
Don’t Mobile Bank and drive. As a matter of fact, with backto-school traffic’s return, don’t drive at all. Instead use mobile
banking and online banking to access your account during rush
hour. Or locate one of our 30,000 surcharge-free ATM’s or a
shared branch at http://www.co-opsharedbranch.org/ and access
your account at a location close to where you need to be.
It’s not that we don’t want to see you, because we do, but
if you need to transact during the back-to-school rush hour
please allow me to encourage you to use all of the other
convenient ways to access your account.
Sure the return of traffic is a drag, but mobile and online
banking, Co-op ATMs, and
shared branching can help
you avoid a traffic jam.
Kindest regards,
David Waterman
that allows you to get the same service and access at other
credit unions that you would here.

International Credit Union Day 2013
Ice Cream Social – Friday, October 18
Join us for an Ice Cream Social, Car Sale and More
Credit unions continually demonstrate their ability to improve
the lives of individuals, families, communities and countries
around the world. We will celebrate International Credit
Union Day on October 18, at the Mission City branch, with
an Ice Cream Social – provided by Mission City Creamery.
Enterprise Car Sales will be on site with several autos on
display that you can test drive with
no sales pressure.
There will be gifts, giveaways
and raffle prizes for a few
lucky winners.
Their vehicle pricing is fixed – there’s no haggling – so your
trade-in value is much higher. Many other auto dealers offer
you a high trade-in price and offset that price by increasing the
price of the vehicle you’re purchasing. Not Enterprise.
Search their inventory at www.enterprisecarsales.com
Test drive several of their vehicles here at the Mission City
FCU branch on October 18 at the International Credit Union
Day Celebration.

We hope you’ll join in
on the celebration fun
on Friday, October 18

shared the common vision of people helping people,
grown – which generally means we can offer our

members better financial deals than those offered by the commercial
meager pay they came together, pooled their resources, and created
banks. Together we members get higher savings rates, lower loan rates,
financial opportunities that they wouldn’t be able to obtain individually.
