HCCU Releases a New Website

On June 6th HCCU will be launching their newly designed website and I must say I’m extremely excited about this release. The new website, which will still be located at www.hccu.on.ca has be designed to be information rich and user friendly all while helping to bring important information to you, our members.

Of course the look and feel of the site is a drastic change from our current one. Just click on either image for a larger look and you will see it's a more modern approach to your Credit Union, but still contains that comfortable, personal touch. The first thing you’ll notice is the large information space currently dominated by the "There's no Wii in Win" campaign. This section will be a rotating gateway to new products and promotions from HCCU. See something that catches your eye, but has rotated past to the next offer? You’ll be able to click on the smaller image boxes located below the main display to lock on to that product and read more about it.

Beside our rotating product display will be three important features of the new web site. One is our ever popular quick rates, giving you the up to date information on the current Prime Rate, US Exchange rates as well as our loan mortgage and deposit rates. It’ll also contain a link to all of the Credit Union’s product rates, just as our current Quick Rates does. Below that you’ll find the "Mention it to Malcolm" box. Here you’ll have a direct link to our CEO Malcolm Stoffman where you can share any concerns, questions or praise you may have regarding the HCCU. Below that will be our HCCU 2.0 section. This includes a link to our HCCU Blog, and to our new Facebook group, where if you have a Facebook account you can sign up to receive HCCU updates and promotions directly to your profile. We expect some exciting things to come from both these developments.

Above the rotating product display is the file folder menu bar. Here you`ll find a link to everything that has to do with HCCU. Under "Personal Financial Services" you`ll find links to all your day to day credit union needs like account information, loan and mortgage info, and the ability to apply for any account or lending product online.

Under the "About HCCU" is where you’ll find more information about us the Credit Union. Things like our contact information, hours of operation, and a history of the credit union.

Finally, Under "Tools and Resources" you’ll find information on are partners, current and archived newsletters, financial calculators, and online applications to many of our products.

Of course, we know the primary reason to visit the HCCU website is to access your online banking, which is why we`ve placed a bright green button in the top right of every page that will take you directly to the log in screen so you can access your account with ease.

As you can see there has been a lot of work on developing this site with you in mind. We hope you like the new feel of the HCCU online experience and look forward to your feedback.
