Sturgis Advice Centre
Crossroads Credit Union has always strived to enhance the service provided to our member owners. As a financial service provider, we need to respond to the evolving nature of the financial service business and focus on the best way to continue to serve the needs of members now and into the future.
Sturgis Advice Centre
In our Strategic Plan, one of our key initiatives is our branches will create an environment that supports advice-based service and member experiences. To do this, we must look at our physical space and change our work environment. The creation of an Advice Centre in the Sturgis location will provide Crossroads Credit Union and our members the opportunity to elevate our service, advice and relationship building.
Over the past several years, through our annual survey, our members have been telling us they would like more advice on their financial needs. Our Advice Centre will be a place where our Advisors can deliver tailored and accessible service, they can meet with our members based on their schedule not ours. It will have private offices as well as an open space to gather and meet. Focusing on offering advice rather than transactions.
Our team of professionals working together to support our members with their lending, wealth, and financial planning solutions in one convenient location. Our team is our heart and soul. They are all highly qualified and have the relevant industry specialization and expertise required to help our members get results.
All our members and business members will have the opportunity to meet with our team of professionals at our Advice Centre.
The Sturgis Advice Centre will also be available as a community hub for members and business owners to utilize as a meeting space with community partners or suppliers. This will be option available in the community of Sturgis for those who could benefit from utilizing a meeting space with Free Wi-Fi and equipment such as a smart board.
We take pride in the fact that we have been able to provide a high level of service over the years to our membership and we will continue to do so in the future.

We are still here as a viable local business and as a community partner.
