Board of Directors

A small group of Scintilla Magneto Corporation employees met in the union lodge in Sidney, New York to discuss the possibility of forming a credit union. At that meeting, 15 employees paid $25 each to fund the application fee to secure a charter. On January 26, 1949, charter number 6011 was received from the Bureau of Credit Unions creating Sidney Federal Credit Union. Today we are 10 branches strong with a field of membership that includes parts of Broome, Oneida and Herkimer counties: as well as all of Chenango, Delaware, Otsego, Cortland, Onondaga, Madison, Schoharie, Montgomery, Fulton, Hamilton and Essex counties.

In today’s world it’s easy to feel disconnected and like just another account number. At SFCU we value each individual and prioritize the member experience. Member satisfaction is the focus of everything we do.

We also recognize the needs of our members are always evolving. At SFCU our goal is to provide both a balance of the self-service technology our members want, as well as a high touch consultative branch experience when they need it.

From deposit products, like our savings or checking accounts, loan products, business services, and financial education we provide tools to enhance the overall well-being of our members and the communities we serve.

Thanks to the guidance from our volunteer Board of Directors, Supervisory Committee and ALCO, their dedication and commitment to the credit union philosophy, our future is bright.

Thank you for choosing SFCU.
