TheCULoop Discusses the KVFCU Conversion
KVFCU in Maine is in the process of potentially converting over to a bank, and Andy LaFlamme discusses the controversial move in his blog, . The conversation is already going with some great questions stemming from it. We highly suggest reading up on the conversion and following it as it unfolds.
MyLifeMyMoney vs. Young & Free
A very hot discussion that’s been hitting the blogs lately was what some are considering a blatant rip-off by Resource 1 CU (Dallas) of Common Wealth CU (Alberta). If you’re somehow unaware of the situation, Common Wealth CU launched the Young & Free campaign targeted to Gen Y by use of social media, attractive incentives and a “spokester.” Recently, Resource 1 CU announced it’s program, MyLifeMyMoney, which seems like an almost carbon copy of Young & Free’s campaign, from the incentives to the stick figure people used in Y&F’s videos. Share your thoughts with us on this situation - do you think it’s okay for one CU to borrow/use/rip-off another CU’s idea?
TDECU and Hurricane Ike
As Hurricane Ike slammed the gulf coast of Texas this weekend, TDECU, based out of Lake Jackson, TX, used its blog to help people out. They kept an eye on the situation and updated their blog with new information as often as they could to provide a central location where their members could come and see the current status of the status. We think it was a very interesting way for TDECU to communicate with their members during a time of need. Good job, guys!

PGP to Offer Mac Whole Disk Encryption
Mark recently found an article talking about PGP Corporation’s announcement of whole disk encryption for Mac OS X. Previously, Mac laptops weren’t able to be completely locked down, but the problem has been solved!
Many credit unions out there are primarily using Macs, and with laptops quickly replacing desktops, this new encryption from PGP is going to be a huge help. To find out more about Whole Disk Encryption, click here.
Common Wealth is bringing the Young & Free campaign (banking for 25 and under) to one lucky credit union in each state. They will help the chosen credit unions organize and implement this groundbreaking campaign right at home. This is a huge opportunity to appeal to the youth in your area and get them to join your credit union. Wanna give it a shot? Click here to get the low-down on how to make your credit union “Young & Free.”
