Organized in 1961,
Sentinel Graphics Federal Credit Union is a not-for-profit
cooperative financial institution, owned by our members. Each
member has one vote in elections, which are held annually in order
to select members to serve on the Board of Directors. These
volunteers represent various member companies, which in turn offer
credit union benefits to their employees.
Once you join the
Credit Union, you may remain a member for life, even if you leave
your present job, retire, or move out of the area. Remember, "Once
a member, always a member"!
Your deposits are
fully protected at the Credit Union. All savings are federally
insured up to at least $250,000 by the National Credit Union Share
Insurance Fund (NCUSIF). This fund is administered by the National
Credit Union Administration (NCUA), an independent agency of the
U.S. Government.
So, if you are
considering membership in Sentinel Graphics Federal Credit Union,
please take the time to review our Web site. You’ll find that we
offer a wide range of services designed to meet all of the
financial needs for you and your family. WELCOME TO OUR FAMILY!
