Customer Feedback
“Listen people, the AMAZING folks are Savi are all staying because they LOVE that they are going to be a credit union and no longer a bank because the customers come first. Grant, Melissa, Steve, all your favorites are so thrilled to be staying on to serve the community in the same (and now better) way. If the staff are thrilled, then they should say something! Seriously, go in and actually talk to the people you are all assuming are about to leave, they are bloody giddy!! I would like to remind some of you that when Savi was new in town, so many people crowing about too many big banks. Now they have proven themselves in 100 ways and are personally delighted and in support of the merge and everyone is pizzing and moaning. ITS A PROPER CREDIT UNION!! Finally! Let embrace the fact that EVERY SINGLE STAFF MEMBER ASKED TO STAY and continue the great service that they have been dialing out to the community since opening.“
