I thought it would be almost impossible for a financial institution to offer a checking account that would generate a higher return on interest than most savings accounts but guess what? Oregon Community Credit Union has done just that.Just last month, the OCCU introduced Remarkable Checking. Can you believe it? Something remarkable sitting out in plain view for everyone to see.
I jumped into my car and visited my local branch to ask what the catch was. You know what they said? No catch. The credit union was just wanting to act like a credit union by serving its members the best they could. Sure you need to sign up for online banking, get your statements via the website and use your ATM card ten times but hey, who's not doing that already.
You know what? By getting your statements online you save paper which saves trees. That's good news. And also when you sign up for Remarkable Checking you can use any ATM for FREE. Yes FREE. Yes any ATM. Not just credit union ATM's, but the banks ATM's as well. Now that worth the switch all by itself.
Sometime businesses forget that the best marketing they can do is provide the best services they can and the good will generated will most certainly grow their business.
