A doorstep surprise for retired Saultites

NEWS RELEASE

NORTHERN CREDIT UNION

*************************
Northern Credit Union, a full service, locally-operated financial institution serving 28 communities in Ontario’s North, recently had a doorstep surprise for a couple of recent retirees.

They made a personal visit with a gift of a brand new hammock to relax in, as part of its recent launch of a new Retirement Savings Plan (RSP).

In total, 11 Sault Ste. Marie-based Northern Credit Union members received the retirement gift.

Two of them were surprised one snowy afternoon on their doorsteps by the Northern team to personally congratulate them on having planned for retirement and to present their gifts.  

“We know what it takes to retire in the North, and we wanted to warm up the day for a few of these special members. It’s all part of Northern hospitality,” explains Al Suraci, president and CEO of Northern Credit Union, “Things are different here in the North—the way we act, see things, and of course, the way we bank. This is true when it comes to retirement as well.”

The surprise visits coincided with the launch of Northern’s new RSP product – a 40-month Guaranteed Investment Certificate (GIC) at two percent.

For those who prefer a shorter term, Northern is also offering an 18-month GIC at 1.6 percent.

Both options have the following benefits:

• No fees
• Completely secure
• Non-redeemable
• TFSA, RSP and RRIF eligible
• Available as a registered or non-registered investment
• Guaranteed interest rate paid annually on anniversary date and at the end of the term
• Option of withdrawing or reinvesting earnings at the end of the term
• Sign up online: you can open your account in just 10 minutes                                       

Now, for the first time ever, Northern’s RSPs are available online or by booking an appointment with a Northern Advisor by calling 1-866-413-7071.
