Good communication is the key to any successful relationship. We want our communications to continually improve and for our GMB members to have easy access to their Credit Union and their accounts whenever they want it.
Contacting GMB Credit Union
The simplest and most widely used channel for GMB members to stay in touch is our Nivo app.
Nivo is a secure messaging app that allows members to contact us via their mobile telephone at their convenience. Nivo is fast and secure and allows members to stay in control of their Credit Union finances.
GMB members can apply for loans and savings accounts through Nivo and the whole onboarding process can be completed, including e-signing of loan agreements, speedily and securely with no need for long paper trails, emails or post.
Communication is key to financial wellbeing
If you’ve ever struggled with your finances, you’ll know it’s often tempting to keep your head in the sand rather than face the dreaded truth about your balance, level of debt, charges, or overdraft costs.
It can also be frustrating when you cannot contact your financial service provider and are fobbed of with the automated message ‘we are currently experiencing a higher than usual level of customer enquiries’. This can make financial matters worse and, on some occasions, can lead to members making poorer financial choices.
At GMB Credit Union, we want you to feel in control of your finances, and we know good communication can give you the perspective you need to make positive decisions that benefit you and your loved one’s longer-term.
That’s why we always encourage members to use the app Nivo and discover how simple and empowering it is to have clear and open lines of communication with your Credit Union.
Is Nivo safe and can I share my personal details on the app?
Nivo is bank standard security and is fully encrypted with three layers of protection which allows members to upload sensitive documents and personal data without risk.
Nivo is therefore a very safe and secure channel so you can share and receive personal information without any concerns about your personal details being leaked or accessed by hackers or third parties.
What additional features does Nivo have?
