CHARLOTTE, N.C. and MOUNDS VIEW, Minn., Sept. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Liberty
Online, one of the fastest growing Web site development and hosting service
providers for credit unions, has commemorated its 100th-customer milestone.
Sharonview Federal Credit Union in Charlotte, N.C., was recently honored
as Liberty Online's 100th customer. John Carlson, Sharonview FCU president &
CEO, said the decision to launch a Web site was based on the desire to retain
its 37,000 members.
"Having a Web site is a necessity as far as financial services are
concerned for the future," said Carlson. "There is a segment of our
membership that wants to do business on the Internet. If you can't provide
this service, they will take their business elsewhere."
Sharonview FCU chose Liberty Online because of its product value.
"The quality is worth the investment," explained Carlson. "They are helping us
build our site, and they are getting it ready in a timely manner. Plus, they
offer us the flexibility to control the content of our site from the credit
union."
Liberty Online is marking its 100th customer only one year after opening
its doors. According to Liberty Online President Keith Hillestad, the company
focuses exclusively on meeting credit union business objectives by providing
them with affordable tools and services that make the Internet an integral
part of their strategies.
"We are absolutely thrilled to be serving so many customers in our first
year of operation and to be serving such fine organizations like Sharonview
FCU," said Hillestad. "More than anything, this early success validates our
product concept and business model, which we believe are unique in the
industry."
Sharonview FCU plans to begin testing its new Web site in November. The
site, http://www.sharonview.org , is scheduled for launch in early 2000.
Liberty Online is part of the growing Liberty family of credit
union-focused companies. Recognized as the credit union movement's leading
provider of payment systems and marketing services, Liberty, headquartered in
Mounds View, Minn., serves nearly 4,500 credit unions in all 50 states, Guam
