NOTICE TO MEMBERS

re: CHEQUING CHANGES

As of June 13, 2011 we will be processing all cheques at the customer service counter. The 50 cent processing fee applies to all cheques except those issued by H.I. Co-op. This policy includes travelers cheques and postal money orders. Cashiers can accept cash, plastic, and gift certificates at the tills.

We are implementing this policy now to reduce stress on the cashiers, and eliminate opportunities for fraud. Training for our summer cashiers will be simplified and there will be fewer chances for errors to occur in processing members’ cheques. We feel that this will help us to move customers through the tills more quickly and efficiently.
