JOPLIN, Kan. – Great Plains FCU is making the best of a difficult situation after a fire burned a hole through the roof and caused heavy smoke damage at one of its branches by offering members ‘hot’ rates on savings and loans. The $240 million credit union redesigned its website and has taken out an ad in the local newspaper touting its ‘fire sale’ after an overnight electrical fire last weekend shut its Salina branch and caused $75,000 in damage. While the branch is shut down, the credit union is taking several steps to reduce member inconvenience, including routing members and phone calls to another Salina branch located just 15 blocks away, which will offer extended hours and additional staff.
