Windsor Family Credit Union Receives Award
for New Retail Location Service Structure

WINDSOR , ON - Credit Union Central of Ontario recently awarded Windsor Family Credit Union (WFCU) with the 2007 Innovation Award for Marketing, Service or Delivery Channel. The Innovation Awards provide an opportunity to recognize innovation and excellence among Ontario credit unions and highlight the growth and advantages of credit unions.

WFCU was recognized for its new Retail Location Service Structure that allows members visiting any WFCU retail location the ability to be serviced by any WFCU staff member. Members receive faster, more convenient service while staff are equipped with the tools to service members' most every financial need including loan and mortgage applications.

"It is important for us (WFCU) to continually evaluate and re-invent ourselves to more efficiently meet the needs of our members. Over the passed year, Windsor Family has launched a number of new and exciting product and services changes including significant changes to our organizational structure, specifically in our retail locations," said Martin J. Komsa, President and CEO of WFCU. "To be recognized with our fourth Innovation Award for these changes is an honour and is much appreciated."

The 2007 Innovation Award for Marketing was presented to WFCU at the recent Credit Union Central of Ontario Annual General Meeting held in Toronto.
