It really creates a good feel for our customers.\u201d Offices remained open serving clients in the community while the remodeling took place, starting back in April. \u201cWe began thinking about all the changes back in April 2013. Once we got them finalized with Design Collaborative, our architect, we began construction.\u201d said Shuey, who has been CEO for four years now. The work was completed by S2F (Start 2 Finish) out of Fort Wayne and Ehle Electric facilitated the wiring, all members utilized in the remodeling of the facility.<\/p>\n<p>Besides all the new offices, the credit union now features a lower, desk level, teller unit for people with wheelchairs, making it more convenient for all of the 3,700 members they serve.<\/p>\n<p>Originally opening in 1965, BFG Credit Union became Financial Partners in the early 1990\u2019s to show they were open to everyone, not requiring clients to be Goodrich employees.<\/p>\n<p>Years later, the Credit Union has kept up to date with online banking at financialpartnersfcu.org and are on Facebook to like and find the latest news, and information concerning important financial matters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are always trying to meet the rapidly changing needs of our members.\u201d said Shuey. One of those is through technology.\u00a0 The renovated office in Woodburn is a Wi-Fi location and Grabill will include this feature as well.\u00a0 Soon FPCU will be upgrading the ATM machines to handle the new EMV chip card technology that is coming out late in 2015.\u00a0 Many financial institutions are going to the chip technology with their credit and debit cards \u2013 instead of using the normal magnetic strip. This will be commonplace in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>FPFCU has offices in both Woodburn and Grabill.
