Extra Awards® Goes to Work for Goldenwest Credit Union Case Study Extra Awards® Goes to Work for Goldenwest Credit Union Some credit unions offer a rewards program because members ask for it and leave it at that. Institution Other institutions take a creative, proactive approach and make loyalty awards pay off in a big Goldenwest Credit Union way. Goldenwest Credit Union of Ogden, Utah is in the latter group. Louise Hilliard, AVP of Payment Services at Goldenwest, describes loyalty program success and gives some advice Address on best practices. 5025 Adams Avenue Ogden, UT 84403-4102 Symitar: You’ve been quite successful with Extra Awards. How do you approach loyalty programs? Telephone Louise: A key strategy for us is to keep the promotions changing. If you don’t do something 801.337.8300 different you won’t engage members. We change it every quarter; it’s constantly moving. Website Could you give us some examples of how you do that? www.gwcu.org The first quarter we offer triple rewards points on balance transfers. The second quarter is Assets focused on card-not-present transactions and has a baseball theme. You can hit a “double” $1 billion by using your card at the gas pump and getting double points, or hit a “triple” with online purchases of entertainment or travel, which provides triple points. Members 100,000 Third quarter is back-to-school with triple points on purchases of clothing, tuition payments, or most any purchase except travel and gas. With fourth quarter and holiday spending, Founded members get double points on all purchases, and a 5,000-point bonus when reaching $5,000. 1936 In our recent fourth quarter, 295 members received the points bonus. The fourth quarter also includes a promotion for zero interest on balance transfers. Symitar Software Solutions & Services What are some the goals or results received? Extra Awards® In our recent fourth quarter, 295 members received the 5,000 bonus points for spending at least $5,000. In that same quarter, members applied for 127 new rewards cards. Interchange income was up 86% over the previous year, and more than $600,000 in new loans were reported. Overall, in the last December-to-December timeframe, there was a 125% increase in the number of cards, and a 105% increase in interchange. Case Study What are some other examples of how you use rewards incentives? When our members have an inactive non-rewards card, they receive a letter with an offer. If they agree to change to a rewards card, they are given 1,000 points. If they spend $1,000 in the first 90 days, there’s an additional 5,000-point bonus. We have a 28% inactive rate for non-rewards cards, but only 9% for rewards. Goldenwest has made Apple Pay™ available to our members. To encourage members to use our cards we made an offer. Anyone who makes their Goldenwest Rewards Visa Card their default card in Apple Pay earns triple points on all Apple Pay transactions for a specified time. Have you used Extra Awards for promotions that aren’t card related? We have held promotions offering 5,000 bonus points for a new loan and we’ve awarded secondary market mortgages with awards. We’ve also done successful campaigns that don’t involve rewards. One promotion entered members into a contest whenever they spent more than $20 on a single purchase. The goal of that campaign was to promote high-value transactions. Do you have some overall advice for credit unions that want to make best use of awards? I assume that everyone is using rewards; if not our card, then an airline card or a merchant’s card. You want to put your card on top, and you know people like variety. You must do something different or you won’t engage people. Offer attractive rewards and make fun, always-changing promotions. It helps that we have great redemption options from Extra Awards, like merchant gift cards. Our own employees tell us how much they like them.

    ANNUAL REPORT 2019 Chairman’s Report Goldenwest has remained true to the credit union philosophy of “people helping people”. We hold firm to the belief that the greater the number of mem- bers who are actively using the products and services offered by the Credit Union, the stronger we are as a not-for-profit financial cooperative. The member-elected Board of Directors is committed to rewarding members for their loyalty to the Credit Union. In 2019, we returned more than $2 million to our members with the year-end dividend. Further- more, Goldenwest’s financial strength has allowed us to expand our branch network, develop new services, and invest in technology that our members need to keep up with the rapid pace of life. Goldenwest members should feel good about the Credit Union’s contributions in the communities we serve. Our employees are your neighbors, our contrac- tors are based in Utah, and our lending decisions are made by experienced professionals who understand the local economic environment. Together, we are making Utah stronger. I am grateful to serve among the highly-qualified individuals on the Board of Directors. We are fortunate to have dedicated and talented professionals on our Executive Team who work diligently on a daily basis to ensure the security and longevity of our Credit Union.

  • 2018 Annual Report
    Chairman’s Report It is my responsibility and privilege to report Gold- enwest’s financial standing to our membership. I’m pleased to share with you the Board of Directors remains confident that Goldenwest Credit Union is well-positioned for continued growth and enhanced member service for years to come. Throughout 2018, as the Credit Union’s Board and Administration evaluated the Credit Union’s financial strength, we increased dividend yields on Certificates and Insured Money Market accounts. Declaring the $1.975 million year-end Bonus Dividend was among our most gratifying actions as a Board. We also invest- ed in branch growth, product development, and enhanced systems to better serve our members. In 2019, Utah will celebrate 150 years since the completion of the transcontinen- tal railroad when a golden spike was driven at Promontory. The railroad through northern Utah is an important piece of Goldenwest’s history and heritage. Our Credit Union founding fathers established the Ogden Railway and Depot Com- pany Employees Federal Credit Union in 1936 with seven men who jointly depos- ited $10.50. Today, 83 years later, we have more than 139,000 members and close to $1.7 billion in assets. On behalf of the Board of Directors, I express my appreciation for your confi- dence and support. Our membership numbers and deposit amounts may have changed since 1936, but our purpose has remained the same – to serve our members and enhance their financial lives. We are proud of our accomplish- ments in 2018, and look forward to another strong year of growth and service.

  • Members Earn $2.2 Million with Bonus Dividend
    Winter 2021 MEMBERS EARN $2.2 MILLION WITH BONUS DIVIDEND Goldenwest Credit Union is pleased to announce that for the 17th consecutive year, the Board of Directors has declared a year-end bonus dividend will be paid to our members. “We are so grateful to experience another successful year, giving us the opportunity to reward our members with a 4.25% bonus dividend,” said Bill Hart, Chairman of the Board. “The Credit Union continues to thrive even with all of the unique challenges we have faced across the nation during the pandemic.” The one-time dividend of 4.25% Annual Percentage Yield (APY) will be paid on top of the stated monthly dividend of 0.05% APY. Members will earn 4.30% APY for the month of December on primary shares, secondary shares, Christmas Club shares, and IRA shares. Kerry Wahlen Dividend earning amounts will vary by member based on the average daily balance in their President/CEO individual accounts over the 2020 calendar year. “Paying a bonus dividend is one of many ways we demonstrate our appreciation to the members of the Credit Union,” said Kerry Wahlen, President/CEO. “We are proud to give back $2.2 million to our members this year.” Wahlen noted that 2020 has been unlike any other time during his 40 years in the financial services industry. Although there have been many memorable moments during 2020, offering loans through the SBA Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) stands out as one of the highlights. “In the spring, we temporarily expanded our Commercial Lending Department from 12 to 67 staff members and provided more than 1,000 small business loans totaling nearly $100 million,” continued Wahlen.
