Aside from the breaking news of the Portage Credit Union's plans to merge with the Austin Credit Union, Wednesday night's PCU annual general meeting reported another successful year. That's from CEO Dave Omichinski.

"We saw about 5.5% overall growth. Our profit levels were virtually identical to last year -- bottom line of about 1.4 million. Overall, from an equity position, we went from about 16 million up to 18.3 million. It was another good news year to share with the members which I always love doing."

He outlines the highlight of 2015.

"The biggest project we undertook last year was a six to nine month project of completely overhauling our website. It was old, it was archaic. I'm really happy with the end results. It's cleaner, it's fresher, with better functionality. There are a number of different applications allowing you to apply online for a job, a loan, or deposit money into an RRSP -- a variety of things."

Omichinski tells us what's coming up next.

"Key things coming up include rolling out our mobile app and Deposit Anywhere over the next week to six weeks. The app is available for both iPhone and Android devices. It's really cool -- it's really convenient. The Deposit Anywhere feature goes with that, and enables you to deposit your cheque from anywhere. You take a picture with your device, front and back, follow the steps, and it's deposited into your account."
