Why You Should Care About the People Who Take Care of Your Money

Tom Kjar

You might think that modern day personal banking is automatic because it’s handled by computers. To an extent, you’re right. 

But people have to be responsible for those computers and those banking systems you rely on. What if they don’t care about you or your money and they’re only interested in, say, keeping their jobs? Do you really want them taking care of your money and your access to it?

If you can get at Creighton Federal just about all the same stuff you can get at Behemo-bank, along with a healthy dose of customer service that means something, why would you stay with Behemo-bank? They don’t give a rat’s patoot about you. We do. Because we know the more we do for you the better it’ll be for both of us.

When Smaller is Better

Tom Kjar

Most of us have been taught that bigger is better. I’m here to tell you, it ain’t necessarily so!

A lot of your personal banking today is done on your smart phone. But what happens when you run into a problem you can’t fix on your phone? Like getting locked out of your Internet banking? Make a call to Behemo-bank and you’ll get a calling tree and probably a run-around. Make a call to Creighton Federal and you’ll get LaShonda or another friendly, human voice. And a solution to your problem, maybe while you’re talking. 

That’s when smaller is better. We’re not perfect but that’s the kind of service we try to give every member every time.

Left Your Debit Card at the Restaurant? Not to Worry.

Tom Kjar

There’s a TV commercial – you’ve probably seen it – where someone has left their debit card at a restaurant in New York or another big city. When they realize what’s happened the person casually picks up their smart phone and, with an app on the phone, locks their debit card so nobody else can use the card and drain their account.

Pretty cool stuff. Works with a big bank debit card in a big city. But here’s the thing. It works here in Omaha, too. With our Creighton Federal debit card and our SecurLOCK Equip app (Download the FREE app from the App Store or Google Play). And, yes, if you leave your debit card at some upscale bodega in New York it works there, too. I guess you could think of the money you didn’t lose as a kind of Buried Treasure.

So, why does this matter? It matters because we want our members’ money safe. It’s their money, not somebody else’s. And keeping their money safe is harder than you think. But that’s our worry. You just go on and have a good time.
