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.
