Take SLFCU with you. Through our membership in CU Service Centers shared branching, we have almost 4,100 nationwide locations to serve you. All Credit Union Service Centers have the swirl logo on their front door.
Your Internet-enabled phone or GPS device can upload locations for you when you’re away. Bookmark m.cuservicecenter.com or download the iPhone application and have thousands of locations at your fingertips. You can also call a toll-free service center locator number (800-919-CUSC) or go to cuservicecenter.com.
When visiting a shared branching location, you’ll need to provide our credit union name and your member number. Also, be ready to provide a valid photo identification and the last four digits of your social security number. You may be also asked to verify your address. The first two transactions per month per member are free. Thereafter, a $2 per transaction fee will apply. In addition, be sure to ask your shared branching location about its fees.
Transactions that may be processed at shared branches include deposits, withdrawals, loan payments, and transfers. Many locations also offer official checks and notary services subject to a nominal fee.

Keep your cards safe and working when you travel
Your SLFCU credit card and Check/ATM Card are protected by a system that detects unusual patterns of activity. Please let us know when you are planning a trip, especially one that takes you outside the U.S. When activity is detected outside of your normal pattern, you’ll receive a phone call to verify that the purchase is legitimate. Please consider providing us with your cell phone number to help us reach you when you’re on the road. We will protect your cell number just as we do all other sensitive personal information.
Card fraud is a widespread problem that you can help us to prevent. Call us at 505-293-0500 or 800-947-5328 or contact us through CU@home secure email and we will make sure your cards are safe and working when you leave home.
Using your VISA or MasterCard overseas to make purchases is a smart move. You’ll be charged only the official exchange rate plus a 1% international transaction fee that is lower than those charged by many banks and credit card companies.
Use your Check/ATM Card worldwide, anywhere MasterCard is accepted, and pay for your purchases or get local currency from your share draft checking account.
