Thank you for your 1st Street Credit Union Membership.

Although we appreciate your membership everyday, we want to take time this week (July 15th) to thank you during our Annual Membership Appreciation Week.

To celebrate, the Credit Union has slashed its auto loan rates by 1.50% for each auto loan category we have.  Plus, depending on your credit, you may be able to stretch out your 1st payment to either 45 or 60 days.  This applies to all auto loans – pre-approvals, refinances from other financial institutions or new purchases of new/used autos.  Internal refinances of existing 1st Street Credit Union auto loans is not applicable.  All loan applications must be submitted this week.  All loans must close by the end of the month for this offer to be in effect.  The only stipulation is automatic payment to the loan.

On Wednesday (July 17th), we would love to have you stop by between 11 am and 1 pm (or until the food runs out) as we have a taco bar setup in the lobby.  Three Peppers on Lemon Avenue will be catering.  We will also be passing out goodies this week and having a drawing(s) for a gift card to thank you for being a member of 1st Street Credit Union.

On January 1, 2018, Sarasota Municipal Employees Credit Union will officially be known as 1st Street Credit Union!  With a new name and a new community charter, we are ready to move onward and upward.  We look forward to welcoming many new members in the months and years to come.

Remember you can use your existing checks, ATM, Credit and Debit Cards until they expire.  If you are writing a check to the Credit Union, please begin to use our new name beginning on January 1, 2018.

If you have any questions about the name change, please feel free to call or stop by.
