In "true co-operative spirit," Conexus, Cornerstone and Innovation credit unions have announced they are working together to benefit members.
The three credit unions have launched the FreeStyle No-Fee Account.
It's an account that truly is free, offering unlimited transactions with no monthly service charges," says Eric Dillon, Conexus CEO. "The credit unions are the first full service financial institutions in Saskatchewan to offer this type of an account.
"This account and the fact that we are launching it with our co-operative financial partners, reflects the credit union difference."
"The account is for members only and is one of the advantages of being a credit union member," adds Kevin Lukey, CEO of Cornerstone Credit Union in Yorkton. "Credit unions are dedicated to our members and communities. We are competitive in the marketplace and focused on doing the right thing for our members; and this collaboration demonstrates that commitment."
Lukey adds, "Our members are our owners; they are the reason we exist and they are the ones that benefit from this new offering."
Innovation Credit Union's CEO, Dan Johnson agrees that credit union partnerships are invaluable in providing the products and services members deserve.
"Our members are already seeing the tremendous benefits of credit union partnerships through a free ATM network and no-charge branch network. Working with Conexus and Cornerstone to now launch a free account demonstrates our further commitment to rewarding members. We look forward to more partnering opportunities in the future."
This program allows any credit union member to walk into a participating branch, as if it was their home branch, and conduct financial transactions at no extra cost.
