Tell us how we’re doing.

We are currently in the process of collecting feedback from our members about your Innovations experience. The next time you complete a transaction with us—whether in-person, over the phone, when using Online/Mobile/Audio banking, using your Innovations debit or credit card or even if you just stop by an ATM—we want to know if we’re meeting and exceeding your expectations.

If you receive an email from a company called Feefo, we highly encourage you to open it and respond. They will be sending surveys on our behalf to provide you with an opportunity to let us know how we’re doing.

Don’t worry. We won’t send you a survey every time you have some sort of contact with us. But we do plan to follow up with you every few months to make sure you have plenty of opportunity to provide us with your insights.

We want every experience to exceed your expectations.
