Our Story
A group of Scintilla Magneto Corp. employees met in the union hall in Sidney, NY 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 1/26/49, charter #6011 was received from the Bureau of Credit Unions creating Sidney FCU.
Today we are 11 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.
