Inside Marketing: Keeping the member experience golden throughout the pandemic
Golden 1 Credit Union focuses on member outreach, financial assistance and education by providing community resources on its website and other digital channels.
Since day one, Golden 1 Credit Union has been committed to the credit union difference—people helping people. With that philosophy, what started in 1933 with 22 members and less than $2,000 in assets has now grown to more than 1 million members and $17 billion in assets. Throughout our tremendous growth, one thing has remained constant: our commitment to the well-being of our members, employees and the communities we serve.
