Those of you with checking accounts should have received a notice about the rollout of our new Wealthcare Checking Account in November.  This product is a step in our mission to truly become “wealthcare providers” for the exceptional people who work in our field of membership.  We live in increasingly complex times and having only a transactional checking product available is a disservice to our membership.  The Wealthcare account is a far more robust product that actively protects our members’ identities, helps them restore those identities in the event of a breach, and provides many other saving opportunities.  We have come to realize that we need to do more – that we need to be a guide on the financial journeys our members are taking.  In regard to their checking needs, that means we need to provide a product that is actively looking out for their best interests, rather than a passive product that is only transactional in nature.  In short, we needed to increase the value of your membership.  And with the Wealthcare account, and more importantly, the wealthcare philosophy that you will see come to light with various initiatives over the next year, we have started down that journey.
