GonzoBanker recognizes FSCC with The Cobra Strike Team Award

Ontario, Calif.—(January 3, 2011)—On December 22, 2010 FSCC (Financial Service Centers Cooperative, Inc.) was pleased to receive The Cobra Strike Team Award from GonzoBanker. Gonzo who? GonzoBanker is Cornerstone Advisors' "alter ego," an online information resource dispatched weekly to tens of thousands of readers around the world, including banks, credit unions, trade groups, the media and industry analysts. GonzoBanker is self-admittedly opinionated, irreverent at times, insightful, hysterical, and even a little twisted. To the financial industry though GonzoBanker is respected.

Why did FSCC receive an award entitled The Cobra Strike Team? Quoting from GonzoBanker, it's because FSCC is "quick, agile, and efficient." GonzoBanker further recognized "FSCC, a shared branching innovator, for its uncanny ability to process nearly 32 million transactions with only 30 people, and that includes everyone from the CEO on down through the organization." Their parting words were that FSCC is "just incredible productivity."

Sarah Canepa Bang, President/CEO of FSCC and one of those hard-working 30 individuals on The Cobra Strike Team, had this to say; "We've always known within FSCC that we have a tremendous team, accomplishing incredible feats with so few people. What makes me the happiest is that GonzoBanker took the trouble to tell everyone outside of our family of 30 how hard we work. This kind of recognition is a huge honor, one that we hope to continue to earn year after year."
