The Penny Post Group
Posted on Oct 11, 2024Can you believe it has been over 2 years since Penny Post, Voyager Alliance and Retail CU joined forces to benefit all our members? On 1st February 2022, 3 credit unions came together to improve the quality of service to our members, invest in our team and technology and grow our membership. It really has been an exciting time working together to benefit members, just like you.
This is only the beginning of our journey as The Penny Post Group, a collaboration between Penny Post, Voyager Alliance and Retail CU. Let’s look back on some of our improvements so far…

Just last year, we proudly took home the Apprenticeship Champion Award too.
