ACT OF KINDNESS

Cudahy receives a surprising (and delicious) Act of Kindness

An Act of Kindness can be simple and still brighten someone’s entire day! The Cudahy office was surprised and delighted by Joan Watson, Traveling Teller, who brought in some delicious treats. 

Kathleen White, Cudahy Branch Manager, expressed gratitude for Joan, who has been with the bank for 21 years. 

Thank you, Joan, for the sweet Act of Kindness and the tasty treats!

AROUND THE BANK

Shiny new North Shore Bank website updates

As we enter into the new year, our website has gotten some new updates! Check out the article below for details on the fresh additions to North Shore Bank’s site:  

Streamlined Navigation

What’s New? Simplified main navigation menu offers users a more focused pathway to our product and service landing pages.

Why? Times and trends evolve, and we’ve observed a decline in the preference for mega navigation menus – particularly on mobile devices. Our research indicates that users benefit from a more straightforward menu, which gives us greater control over their journey on our website.

Updated navigation menu

 

Additional Changes:

  • Renamed “Customer Support” to “Contact Us” for clarity.
  • Moved “About Us” from main navigation to top navigation area.
  • Renamed “ATM, Branch & Video Teller Locations” to “Locations.”
  • Streamlined footer links and content for a more cohesive user experience.

Enhanced Website Search

What’s New? We’ve enhanced the on-site search function to provide greater speed and accuracy, while the new admin customization capabilities contribute to a more efficient and personalized user experience.

Why? With a reduced number of links in the navigation menu, investing in an enhanced website search ensures users can easily find what they’re looking for.

Relocation of the Login Area

What’s New? We’ve moved the login area to the right side of the navigation menu and reorganized the login options into two sections – Personal and Business.

Why? Following website design trends, login areas are now commonly found on the right side. Applying a similar structure to the main navigation (Personal and Business), and dropdown box functionality, makes the Login area a more intuitive experience for users.

HEALTHY YOU

How to make your mental health a priority during the holidays

It’s no secret that stress levels tend to rise this time of year. But implementing some practical tips can help minimize the overwhelm that often accompanies the holiday.

Click here for 9 tips to fend off holiday stress.

How to Have a Happy Holiday…When You’re Not Feeling Happy

The Holiday Blues are temporary feelings of anxiety or depression during the holiday season. They are often associated with stress, unrealistic expectations, or even memories that accompany the season. Holiday Blues are different from clinical anxiety or depression in that the feelings are temporary. However, even short-term problems need attention so that they don’t lead to longer-term concerns.

Check out the graphic below for “Tips for Managing the Holiday Blues.” 

 

PROMOTIONS AND CONTESTS

Don’t forget about holiday gift cards with no purchase fee

We’re making gift-giving a little easier! During the holiday season, North Shore Bank offers gift cards with no purchase fee. Gift cards are available for any amount, so they are always the perfect size.

Gift cards can be purchased at any North Shore Bank branch, and the promotion goes until December 31st, 2023.
