Neha new but not nervous
As the newest member of staff at NZCU Employees, accountant Neha Garcha is finding it easy to settle in thanks to her supportive colleagues and a sense of belief in the principles of the credit union.

Born and raised in India, Neha says she had always wanted to be an accountant.
So while her brother went to work in Dubai, Neha completed her studies at the University of Punjab, Chandigarh and worked as an accountant for Nestle International Limited.

Loyal to the credit union
Tuifua Pofele says that in a modern era where you often walk into a bank and cue up not knowing anyone, it’s nice to be able to walk into the NZCU Employees Penrose branch and be known as an individual.
“I walk in and I know Sheryl, Anna or Lele, or whoever’s at the front counter and it makes it easier,” says the 42 year old Paint-maker team leader.
Tongan-born Tuifua’s parents brought him over to New Zealand when he was just three years old.
All his eggs in one basket
Sione Afa Mua has been with NZCU Employees since the late 80s and the great grandfather says the best part of being with the credit union is how easy it is to ask for help when you need it.
“When you have a problem, you come to the credit union and they’re here for you,” says the 61 year old machine operator.
Sione immigrated to New Zealand in 1975 from Nautoka in Tonga and joined the credit union as a member in 1989.
Back to School with NZCU Employees
Are your finances feeling stretched after an expensive Christmas and now the costs of back to school expenses are piling up? Maybe we can help you to cover the costs of this expensive time of year.
Back to school expenses like stationery, equipment, uniforms, school fees and activities can mount up fast, and it can be difficult and stressful trying to cover these expenses at the start of the year.
A family of savers
When Vaine married her husband Mr Lavaka in 1989 she also joined NZCU Employees. It was one of the best decisions she ever made because, she says, their humble family all benefit from the different savings accounts offered by the credit union.
All five of Vaine’s children have had their own NZCU Employees accounts since birth, which comes in handy at Christmas and when it’s time for them to go back to school.
Notice to members: Insurance Provider
