Presidents Message

To our valued members:

I’m very pleased to announce that the largest and most significant project ever undertaken at USX Federal Credit Union is complete. For the past year I have been informing you of our conversions to a new data processing system, and a new online and mobile banking platform in the fall of 2022. The actual conversion was completed the weekend of October 1, 2022. Now our members and staff move into the next phase of the conversion process, which is taking advantage of the new features and capabilities of the systems and becoming comfortable using them.

Overall, we believe that the conversion went very well, but as with any undertaking of this size and scope, we have a few issues that we continue to work on. We also realize that there were some member challenges the first week or so after conversion weekend and that there were difficulties when trying to reach us by phone. I would like to apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Not only did we experience a high call volume, but the average length of each call increased as our staff worked to resolve our member issues. We greatly appreciate your patience throughout this process and hope you are as excited about the new online and mobile products as we are.

Your credit union has some big things planned for 2023. Look for additional information and updates throughout the coming year. In the meantime, our entire staff and I wish you and your families a happy and prosperous New Year.

Mark A. Volponi
President & CEO
