If you ordered Edge FCU checks anytime after January 2023 (or if your account number is changing) new checks will automatically be sent to you. If you do not receive new SFCU checks, and would like to order some, you may stop in or call us at 877-642-7328 and we will order them for you at NO CHARGE.

Your Edge FCU checks will still continue to work (as long as your account number has not changed), however we encourage you to discontinue the use of those checks.

If you would like to bring in your old Edge FCU checks, we would be happy to confidentially dispose of them for you. If you order checks from a vendor outside of the credit union please make sure  you update the routing number and MICR line to reflect your new SFCU account information.

Credit Unions differ from banks in that all members have equal ownership. Two credit unions combining to share resources to better serve member financial needs is very different than a bank buyout. In the instance that a credit union with a higher net worth merges into a credit union with a lower net worth, there may be a special dividend paid out to the membership of the dissolving credit union to equalize the member-owner value in the combined credit union. In the case of SFCU and Edge, SFCU carries a higher net worth than Edge and therefore a special dividend will not be paid.

Your accounts will continue to be federally insured just as they are today through the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund, which is backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government and managed by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA).
