Your Credit Union is Here to Serve You
The spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19) in our region, across the country and around the world is undoubtedly causing concern for you, your family and your community.  I want you to know that at Sydney Credit Union, the well-being of our members, staff and community is our priority.

How will I get cash or make deposits?
You can withdraw/deposit money through our ATM or get cash back when doing your grocery shopping.

Keeping You Safe: In-Branch Banking
Sydney Credit Union is taking extra steps to keep you and our employees safe at your branch.  We are deep cleaning the branch(es) daily including sanitizing door handles, ATMs, and reception areas.  Hand sanitizers are also available for member and employee use.

Protect Yourself from Fraud
Unfortunately, scammers will try to take advantage of situations like this.  Please remember that we will never send you unsolicited emails asking for personal identification such as passwords, PINs, social insurance number, credit card or account information.  Sydney Credit Union wants you to know that we take the safety and security of your information seriously.  If you ever receive an email that appears to be from someone at our branch, please call us at 902-562-5593 or send us an email to sydney@sydneycreditunion.com to confirm whether the email is legitimate before responding.
