Christmas Special from CU*Archives!
Published Friday, November 21, 2008.
Have you checked lately to make sure you have all of your Daily/EOM, Statement, and Credit Card Statement CDs? Now would be a great time to take a look! Maybe you’re just tired of using that old fiche viewer. So change your Daily/EOM reports and statements from fiche to CDs. Throw that unprotected fiche away and have password-protected CDs for your credit union’s security. Make an off-site storage at one of your credit union branches. This would also be a great time to get any misplaced CDs replaced and have a fresh start for the new upcoming year.
To help you make sure you have all this critical information on hand, we are offering a special, one-time discounted price offer for CU*CDs. The normal fee for replacing a CD is $120 per CD. Place your order between now and January 16, 2009, and you will get all replacement CDs at these discounted prices:
- 1 to 5 CDs: $35 per CD
- 6 to 10 CDs: $25 per CD
- 10 or more CDs: $20 per CD
All CDs can be replaced from April of 2004 to present date. (If you converted to CU*Answers after this date we can replace your CDs from your conversion date to the present date.)
Hurry! Orders must be placed no later than January 16, 2009. To order, complete the order form and fax it to Media Operations, fax # 616-285-5702. Questions? Want to know more about CD-ROM archives for your reports and statements? Contact Kyle Karnes at kkarnes@cuanswers.com.

BAILOUT…Where is the sunshine in a term like that?
Published Wednesday, November 5, 2008.
Read Randy Karnes latest article on CreditUnions.com where Randy talks about media hype, the government bailout and the Spirit of CU*Answers Scholarship program. Here’s an excerpt:
“Negative headlines grab attention, and the word “bailout” plays better
than a positive announcement for “Launching New Initiatives.” But as a
system, we must continue to launch collective solutions, and those
solutions must come from every facet of the business. Direct from credit
unions, from our trade organizations, vendors, and CUSOs. All of these
organizations should reflect a spirit of collective capital that is
working towards the future.”
