SEAFORD, Del. — The members who get the most out of their relationship with $252 million Sussex County Federal Credit Union received a Valentine's Day present of sorts.
SCFCU said it rewarded "loyal member-owners" with a $100 Patronage Dividend. Members who utilized multiple services, such as checking, loans and investments, recently found the extra $100 in their checking account.
Pamela Fleuette, Sussex County FCU's CEO, said after paying all operational costs, SCFCU reinvests in its members by offering additional products and services, expanding locations and/or hours — and now the Patronage Dividend.
"This is just one of the many ways that our credit union stands out from other financial institutions," she said in a statement. "The more member-owners who utilize our full menu of services, the more value and benefits we can return to the membership; that's the cooperative spirit in action."
Sussex County FCU was chartered in 1959. It serves those who live, work, worship, attend school and/or volunteer in Sussex County or the City of Milford.
