Your Money Is Safe With Us

It’s easy to get swept up in panic during times of uncertainty

COVID-19 has left us with a lot of questions and anxiety. One thing is certain: your SunWest accounts are protected. Our interests as a credit union revolve around what is best for our members. While it can be beneficial to keep small amounts of cash on hand for emergencies, experts strongly recommend against withdrawing large sums. It exposes you to major risk.

Once lost, cash cannot be recovered, whereas your credit union account is automatically insured through the NCUA of up to $250,000. With this insurance, you have one less thing to worry about.
