SFCU Officials Meet with Residents To Discuss Bank Opening

MORRIS—Approximately 30 residents from Morris and the Butternut Valley gathered at the Morris Firehouse at 7 p.m. on May 23 for a follow-up to the news that Sidney Federal Credit Union intends to establish banking services in the Village of Morris. The meeting was organized by the Butternut Valley Alliance, whose task force began working to find an alternate bank when Community Bank, NA ended 167 years of banking services in Morris on January 19.

Present at the meeting were SFCU President and Chief Executive Officer Jim Reynolds and Andrew Smith, SFCU’s vice president of sales and marketing, who gave updates on the status of the SFCU-BVA agreement and answered questions from the public. The meeting was recorded and is available on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ts9npx1mKE.
