The ‘Green’ is continuing with the use of electronic signature pads by the loan officers at Russell Street. With the signature pad, loan officers don’t have to print loan documents for members to sign. From there, the documents are put into our secure document database without the need for printing and scanning. It’s all done electronically! It also eliminates the need for loan officers to spend time “building” files before they send them on (to be filed in a big room with other paper from other loans). These signature pads can also be used for new account documents. Look for the signature pads to be deployed at the rest of our branches in the coming months. Next time you get a loan from Missoula FCU, you may not even touch a single piece of paper…

Southside Construction Update 7/15
Jul 15th, 2009 by Chris Lynn
While on the surface, little appears to be happening, believe me, lots is going on! Crews continue to excavate the basement and pour walls. The shaft for the elevator is being dug and back filling has started along some of the walls that have cured completely. The next several weeks will see more dirt moved and more concrete poured….not necessarily the most exciting part of the project, but vital to the building!
Some have asked why the hole is so very very deep…we are putting a full basement under the building, plus, we need depth for the decking between the basement and first floor and of course the floor for the basement…not to mention the support that will be necessary to keep the two story building standing! It all starts with a strong foundation, and that means digging deep to start.
The space formerly known as the front door! Excavation continues with the digging of the elevator shaft.

The asphalt has arrived in our new drive!
Southside Construction Update 6/10
Jun 10th, 2009 by Chris Lynn
New Drive up Nearly Complete!
Our crews are working hard to get the new drive up at 2237 34th Street (right next door to the Southside Branch—formerly our corporate training center) up and running. Asphalt will be coming Thurs and Fri and we are TENTATIVELY scheduled to open the new drive up on Tuesday June 23rd. Watch for signs directing you to the new drive up. The old drive up at the Southside Branch will be CLOSED once we get the new one open. Access from Dore Lane will ONLY be for lobby and ATM.
The new drive up will be nearly double the capacity of the old one (with double stacked lanes like at our Russell and Reserve St Branches) and will have a tube designed especially for commercial transactions (it’s larger and can carry larger transactions than the regular tubes). There is also a drive up ATM and a night drop in the lane closest to the building. A walk up teller tube is available on the front of the building. We won’t be moving our walk up ATM from its current location at the temporary entrance of Southside for some time, but eventually its new home will be on the front of the new drive up.
There will be NO LOBBY in the drive up building. All lobby transactions (coin counting, loans, new accounts, etc.) will need to be conducted at the Southside lobby (currently only accessible via Dore Lane).
