STE. GENEVIEVE, Mo. – MRV Banks, a locally-owned, independent bank, is proud to provide its customers ages 50 and older with a unique perk. The Starz 50+ Club allows members the opportunity to travel the world and create memories with other people in the community. This summer, the bank hosted its largest Starz 50+ Club trip with community members going on a trip of a lifetime to Austria, Switzerland and Bavaria.
MRV Banks hosts largest Starz 50+ Club trip to date.
“Traveling with a group has many perks,” said Pam Hopkins, MRV Banks Senior Vice President. “All of the planning is done for you, from the transportation to accommodations, thanks to drivers and tour guides included in the trip. Our members also have the added benefit of feeling safe on these trips because even if you’re traveling without a companion, you’re not alone.”
The Starz 50+ Club at MRV Banks began taking domestic group trips in 2011 and embarked on their first international trip in 2014 to Ireland with 17 travelers, followed by Australia and Fiji. Since then, trip locations have included places like Scotland, Hawaii, Greece and as far north as Iceland. MRV Banks Starz 50+ Club is designed for customers ages 50 and older. Members receive access to financial perks, social opportunities, and the chance to travel the world.
“I have traveled to all 50 states with family or friends; however, I was nervous to travel internationally without a group,” said Cathy Coffman, Starz 50+ Club member for 15 years. “Traveling with MRV Banks takes the headache out of planning, and I feel safe. I missed my flight a few years ago, and they helped me get to Costa Rica for the trip. They’re very accommodating and a lot of fun.”
The nine-day tour of Switzerland, Austria and Bavaria included a stay in Bern followed by Gruyères, known for its creamy cheeses, and a cheese-making demonstration. Then, a scenic ride on the GoldenPass Panoramic Train from Montreux to Gstaad. The trip ended in Innsbruck, Austria.
