Aquila Standard: Your Partner in Growth & Prosperity
It’s easy to see, Seattle is booming! Some important shifts are taking place in our region, creating new opportunities to strengthen our position in the community. We anticipated this well-spring of activity and recently completed an 18-month planning process to help guide our vision—a collaborative effort that included members, non-members, employees, consultants, executive leadership, and our member-elected board of directors.
We’re simplifying our name to Aquila Standard.
By eliminating “metropolitan,” our name is shorter, easier to pronounce, and easier to remember. If you are a local or new to Seattle, we are your credit union.
From September 18 through the end of 2017 you will see a transition to the new name as we demonstrate our commitment to being “Seattle’s partner in growth and prosperity”.
This commitment explains why we exist and, more importantly, what makes us special. We help individuals and families pursue their hopes and dreams. It may be a goal of buying a home or a car, consolidating debt, saving for college or retirement, or becoming a U.S. citizen.
Our branch locations will also continue to evolve. We are:
- creating more open space for conversations
- sharing member stories and financial tips
- celebrating the communities we serve
- offering current and future financial tools
Starting September 18, we’ll go by Aquila Standard, but we’ll continue to honor payments and agreements under both names so our members don’t have to make any changes or take any action.
If you have any questions, give us a call at 718.952.1741.
With gratitude,
Richard Romero, CEO
