WFCU Launches Banzai for Members Tackle nancial problems

BEFORE THEY HAPPEN

What’s Banzai?

Banzai is a "choose your own adventure" game that prepares you for life's hardest nancial decisions. We all make money mistakes, and budgeting looks a lot harder than it has to be. That's why we're offering you Banzai, a real-world nancial wellness program. All three Banzai courses— Junior, Teen, and Plus— take kids, teens, and adults through scenarios in a fun, lifelike simulation.

What does it teach?

In Banzai, you will learn to make trade-offs, setting money aside for your needs and living well at the same time. In Plus, you will even watch how your choices affect your credit report, and your ability to borrow for a home.

Budgeting Learn how to enjoy the money you make, while still meeting your needs.

Paying Bills It's never too late to learn self-sufficiency.

Trade-Offs The "right" answers aren't clear in real life— decide between several good choices.

Credit Scores Experiment with credit safely before being tossed into real life.

Are you ready for the challenge? Play Banzai at the following website: wichitafcu.learnbanzai.com

Introducing...

JOHN SMUTNY Loan Specialist John, his wife Brittany and their three children

Fearless with a snake at the Nature Center

John joined the WFCU team in June, 2003.

He left in December of 2016, but re-joined the team a year later in December of 2017.

John attended Washburn University, Emporia State and WSU, where he studied Accounting and Civil Engineering. “I love working with numbers, I have all of my life, so it makes sense that I work at a credit union because I also get to help people on their journey to financial freedom. I really enjoy helping our members improve their overall financial picture. I do my best to be their guide to nancial success.” When asked about his success and achievements in life, he said: “I’ve been married for 11 years, and it makes me feel very accomplished that I’ve been able to support my family while my wife spends the most important years of our children’s lives at home with them. Our focus is our family, and we have 8 acres of land which provides plenty of room for our three children to play and make memories.

These are my greatest accomplishments.”

One of John’s first dates with his wife included skydiving. It was the first time either of them had been in an airplane.

John continued: “We enjoy going to live sports games and attended Game 6 of the World Series in 2014. When I was in High School and College, I was a home run hitter, so I really enjoy softball and hope my son plays too one day.” During his free time, John enjoys spending time with his family and works on his property. He recently planted 230 Evergreen trees and bushes. He plans on planting 200 more next year. John also loves to travel and has been to every state except for Hawaii.

You can see John at our East location, where he serves as a Loan Specialist.
