Workers Credit Union, based out of North Central Massachusetts, recently asked the question "Are we doing enough to improve the daily lives of our members?" They knew it was time to do more. Time to go beyond the teller line and dig deep into understanding their members' life and business goals. Time for the Workers Way TM . The Workers Way is a proprietary approach to helping members take control of their future through smart money decisions. Through one-on-one guidance, certified Workers Way financial coaches are there to support you at any stage of life. Whether it's starting a family, getting out of debt or creating a strategy for retirement, your coach will listen to your needs and give you the tools you need to achieve your goals. For business members the same Workers Way approach applies. The business team has the experience and know-how to help your business thrive through savvy financial choices. As an SBA Participating Lender, they offer 7A, 504 and Express loans and as your partner, can advise you on the most efficient way to finance your next project. With a redefined purpose comes a complete redesign of the traditional branch model plus a new name for locations that offer this service: Workers PlanIt. These locations, such as their new one on Grove Street in Worcester, are designed with the perfect blend of one-on-one interactions and high-tech convenience. For coaching appointments, private booths provide a comfortable atmosphere for meaningful conversations. For easy, day-to-day transactions like deposits, loan payments, and check cashing, video teller machines have replaced the teller line. If you aren't banking with them yet, now's the time to redefine the way you think about personal and business banking. It's time to get on board with the Workers Way.
