Established in 1969, IBM Southeast EFCU is one of the nations largest Credit Unions with $600 million in assets and 60,000 members across the country.
"Credit Union Membership adds new value to the benefit packages already in place from UniversalPost. Stores can take full advantage of banking and financial products and services offered through IBM Southeast (EFCU) online program, accessible 24/7. It is as much a priority for us to offer our member stores group benefits as it is to introduce them to revenue producing programs. We want to save them money as much as help them make money," said Linda Jacobucci, newly appointed President of UniversalPost.
"IBM Southeast EFCU is excited to partner with UniversalPost. Their member stores will benefit from the value, accessibility, products and services, REWARDS program and unique personalized service that only IBM Southeast EFCU can offer", states Marilyn Joyce, Member Development Director, IBM Southeast EFCU.
"Our leasing division is prepared to work directly with member stores to assist them in obtaining loans for vehicles and business equipment. A 4 billion dollar industry attracts our interest" said Michael Buccellato, President of Universal Express Capital Corp.
"The management of our private postal trade association continues to search and work for programs and services that may better strengthen this essential but fragmented industry of over 10,000 retail locations. Affording them a 35 year old additional credit facility adds even more value to UniversalPost members and financial opportunities for all involved," concluded, Richard A. Altomare, Chairman & CEO of Universal Express, Inc.
