Raiz Digital Transformation

A Letter from our CEO:
January 12, 2022
At Raiz Federal Credit Union, your success is our number one priority! Over the last
several months, Raiz has elevated our Red Carpet Service into innovative, new,
digital services. These conveniences will provide our membership with leading-edge
technologies, effortless digital banking and a more convenient branch experience: a
complete Digital Transformation!
This “Digital Transformation” started during the pandemic as our members
increased the use of our online services. We heard from many of you how the
convenience of “banking on-the-go,” compliments your busy lifestyles. Now, in the
second phase of our digital transformation our branches have been transformed
into a new self-service ATM model. These new ATMs will help facilitate your routine
branch transactions intuitively and conveniently, all with our signature Red Carpet
Service experience. Eventually, these ATM’s will be available 24/7. Yes, all-day, and
all night!
Our new branch model does not include the termination of any of our dedicated
staff. On the contrary, we are taking the opportunity to invest in our staff with
training and development to foster higher-skilled and higher-paying roles at Raiz.
Our new highly trained staff will be made available to guide you through the use of
the ATMs and our new branch model.
We look forward to providing you with the excellent service you expect, while
continuing to be a trusted financial services provider for the El Paso community. The
adoption of this new model allows our credit union to be at the forefront of what is
quickly becoming the norm for all financial institutions across the country.
We understand that you may still have some questions about this exciting change,
and we are attaching a set of our most asked questions for you to review.
We aim to make your banking experience convenient and enjoyable.
Thank you for your valued membership and continuous support,
Max Villaronga
