Winston-Salem, N.C. (February 14, 2008) – Don’t you just love when you take time off of work to make your way over to your financial institution only to find that they are closed due to a national holiday? Not everyone has President’s Day off from work and Truliant Federal Credit Union gets that – which is why they will be open to serve their member-owners needs on Monday February 18 (President’s Day). In addition to setting a new standard for financial institutions Truliant will offer a .25% rate increase for all certificates opened on President’s Day.

“Part of our mission is to enhance the quality of life for our member-owners and by being open on President’s Day we are doing just that,” said Marc Schaefer, President/CEO of Truliant Federal Credit Union. “The status quo is for financial institutions to be closed on President’s Day however we have listened to the needs of our member-owners and will have our doors open for business next Monday. Our goal is to go above and beyond what our member-owners ask for which is why we have decided to celebrate this national holiday by offering a .25% rate increase on all certificates opened on President’s Day.”

Truliant’s commitment to understanding and meeting the financial needs of members in their communities is a core strategy that has been consistently applied and remains its hallmark. This core value permits the Credit Union to build a long-term relationship with members based on trust and recognition that Truliant will act in their best interests.

“It’s really helpful knowing that Truliant has decided to open on President’s Day,” said Chuck Guthrie, one of Truliant’s 180,000+ member-owners. “It’s a great holiday but the simple fact is, is that I have to work next Monday and there are various reasons I might need to either call the Credit Union or stop by in person so it is nice to know that I have the option should I need it.”
