Carla Decker describes how ACCESO makes the immigrant community a priority for its services.

 
 

The ACCESO branch of District Government Employees Federal Credit Union ($47.7M, Washington D.C.) uses innovative promotions and techniques to serve the immigrant population of the local Washington, D.C., community.

  • This establishes the statistics up front: (1) Chief Marketing Officers like factual data. (2)Then, it opens the dialogue demonstrating that the demographics of America are changing; the growing segments of younger populations are other than Anglo.

This helps CU Executives examine more closely what their mindset has been.
