BackgroundMendo Lake Credit Union is a community development financial institution that serves more than 17,000 members in the California communities of Lake and Mendocino counties. Headquartered in the city of Ukiah, the credit union manages four full‐service branch locations and has an asset value of approximately $122 million.

When Mendo Lake Credit Union began searching for a new vendor to help manage its deposit account disclosures, the credit union sought an outsourcing partner who would be a “one‐stop shop.” The credit union had previously experienced a lot of overlap when using multiple vendors, so finding a single provider that offered the “whole package” was an important part of streamlining its operations and reducing costs. Access to a responsive and knowledgeable customer service team as well as a comprehensive compliance warranty also topped Mendo Lake Credit Union’s vendor wish list.

ResultsAs a result of using Wolters Kluwer Financial Services’ Deposit Disclosure Program, the credit union has cut its printing costs in half, reduced overhead and eliminated scrap waste. Now, the credit union either uses electronic documents or prints onsite only what is needed rather than keeping boxes of preprinted account information brochures on‐hand and then discarding them every time updates are needed.

Wolters Kluwer Financial Services’ Deposit Disclosure Program not only enables Mendo Lake Credit Union to operate more efficiently, but the reduction in resource output also has significantly reduced MLCU’s carbon footprint, waste and costs.

Appendix

Best of all, LaBrash knows that the credit union’s deposit disclosures and account information brochures are always 100 percent compliant, making her job as a compliance officer much easier.

“It would be impossible for me to stay on top of new compliance requirements and regulation changes without the expertise that Wolters Kluwer Financial Services provides us,” said LaBrash. “They not only keep me up‐to‐date on all compliance matters, but their customer service is outstanding. As an outsourcing partner, I can honestly say that they have exceeded my expectations and have never left me wanting something more.”
