Attention
High School Seniors, College Students and Parents
In the early part of 2012, BMI Federal Credit Union will
be changing the way we ask members for their opinions
and how they rate our service. We are replacing the out-
dated paper surveys with new email/website electronic
surveys. Not only will we be doing our part to help
protect our environment, we will be able to ask different
questions to help improve the way we serve our mem-
bers.
If you should receive an email from BMI FCU asking for
your feedback, it is a legitimate request and we hope
you will take a few moments to let us know how we are
doing.
