Dear Members,
Happy Canada Day!
This long weekend we are going to take the opportunity to finalize the merger between Ukrainian Credit Union Limited and United Ukrainian Credit Union by converting our members in Hamilton to our banking system.
This will mean some brief disruption of service. Between Saturday, June 29, 2013 and Monday, July 1, 2013, as we convert the former United Ukrainian Credit Union (UUCU) members to Acumen™, the state-of-the art banking system used by Ukrainian Credit Union Limited. Internet and telephone banking systems will also be unavailable during this time.
Our banking system is the engine of your credit union. During the Conversion Period, we will be integrating all your financial vehicles: internet banking, ATM, and telephone banking channels to ensure that the transition is seamless.
During this Conversion Period if at any point in time you have a question we would strongly encourage you to either contact the Call Centre where a qualified specialist will assist you with a quick resolution or simply email the Call Centre at ucuconversion@ukrainiancu.com, if this is more convenient. There will also be updated information posted on our website – www.ukrainiancu.com.
Please note that the Bloor West Village and Mississauga branches which are usaully open till 2pm on Saturdays will close one hour early on June 29 at 1pm in order to accommodate the conversion schedule.
We thank you for your patience.
