Banking System Conversion Scheduled for April 24-26

2010 Career & Recruitment Fair

Advantage Credit Union is converting to a new banking system the weekend of April 24th to 26th

Although our existing software has met our needs for many years, a more flexible up-to-date system is required to meet new initiatives and technology advances, and to support our future long-term growth. Most credit unions in Saskatchewan, Alberta and Manitoba have adopted this new banking system and are sharing in the cost and operational support.

You will see minimal change in how we serve you; however, you may have noticed some staff changes at your branch. Significant resources have been committed to this conversion and staff from various branches have been temporarily reassigned full-time to the conversion team. All staff is scheduled for extensive training over the next few months in order to make this as seamless a process as possible for you. We are paving our way to the future and thank you for your patience and understanding throughout this important process.

Check back for important updates on March 22^nd.
