Dear Members,

We appreciate your patience through the process of moving your accounts to the new systems. The combining of systems will continue through June 2022. Shambhala will continue to operate under its current name until account, service, and system integration is completed.

As information about the integration process becomes available, it will be posted on the Shambhala website at shambhalacreditunion.org/merger. Shambhala members will also be kept informed as core systems integration activities progress. Please contact Cynthia Castro (cycastro@nullpmcu.org) or Donna Poulsen (dpoulsen@nullpmcu.org) or contact us at 303-444-9003.

In response to the coronavirus situation, our branch at 1345 Spruce Street in Boulder will be closed to the public.  Credit Union members wishing to make deposits, withdraw funds or make loan draws will be served fully during all business hours (M-Th 10-4) by sending an email from a verified address to:  CYNTHIA@nullSHAMBHALACREDITUNION.ORG, or by calling 303-444-9003 (if we can verify your identity by confirming your personal information).  Your funds/ability to make deposits will be available by:

1. Coming to our office and picking up/dropping off a check
2. Direct ACH deposit to an domestic account (all domestic fees waived until March 3o), or ACH deposit from an external account to your credit union account.
3. Your request for us to physically deposit funds to a local bank branch of your choice.

TO REITERATE:  there will be no limit on your ability to conduct business with us, only your ability to physically access our office.

All regular ACH/electronic transactions will NOT be disrupted by this temporary change.

Please know we are here to serve you and that a representative of the credit union will be at the office during business hours.  Thank you as we attempt to do our part to calm the spread of coronavirus.

-Bob Sutherland, CEO (direct line 303-775-2790).

As Sarah Luna moves to part-time status to pursuit a degree in finance, Cynthia has been hired to train under Sarah and assume the job of Operations Manager sometime in 2020.  Cynthia has been working in banks since 2012 and brings a sharp mind and great customer service skills to the job.  Recently awarded a $1,000 scholarship for credit-union specific training, Cynthia is excited to acquire more knowledge.

Jessica Van Antwerp, one of our members, is excited to announce that she is now the sole owner of her international wellness adventure company Integral Travel. She is excited to make some changes to her trip programs, including having taken the Thai massage training out of the trips to open up her offerings to a wider audience. The journeys will instead rest on a foundation of daily mindfulness practices that combine yoga, qigong, and meditation in a unique and accessible way, but will continue to provide immersive travel experiences that Integral Travel has been known for for over 15 years. And she is excited to have just launched the marketing campaign for her next trip to Thailand in February 2019. None of this would have been possible for her without the support of the Shambhala community and on her behalf, we are extending you all her immense gratitude! 

The Gainesville Shambhala Group has come together to purchase their own building.  With support from Shambhala Credit Union and High Plains Bank, this group has succeeded at laying the ground for long term financial health and growth.  What a great community.  Thank you Gainesville!  Call us today to see if your community non-profit or small business could benefit from our innovative approach.
