News from Mark Bold
As announced in March, we are upgrading our core processing system starting on April 27th.

This project is a major undertaking for our staff and technology partners as it affects all aspects of our operations. In addition to our core processing system, which is the technology used for transaction processing and maintains our shares and loans, we are also upgrading our Online Banking, Mobile Banking app, and remote deposit capture.

We know this is an inconvenience for our members but hope you will be patient as we work through this process. Our staff are excited to move through this process as it will provide greater functionality for members, better products and services, as well as streamlined daily processing. Once complete, members will enjoy advances in our technology products, quicker processing times, and more self-serve options.

We will close at 5:00 pm EST on Thursday, April 30th and we will be closed on Friday, May 1st to allow us to complete the upgrade process. During this time you will not have access to our online services and will be subject to lower debit card limits. However, we will work as quickly as possible over the weekend to bring these services online as soon as the process is complete. We have designed this system upgrade guide as a roadmap for a smooth transition to our new services. We are also providing additional phone support for the weeks following the conversion by partnering with our new provider’s call center. These calls will be answered by Michigan-based, experienced staff who can assist with any questions you may have.

We are excited to bring these changes to our members, providing state-of-the-art systems with stable functionality is always our goal.

While change is always hard, rest assured our staff will work hard to make sure the issues are minimized and our systems are aligned with member expectations.

Have additional questions? Stop into our office or call us at 410-687-5240.

Thank you in advance for your patience during the upgrade process.

Mark Bold, 
President
