We hope you and your families are well and healthy.

If you need to visit one of our branch locations in person, they are all open at their regular days and times. We remain ready for you at our branches for more complex items.

We continue to monitor the status of the COVID-19 pandemic and have taken the necessary steps to ensure the health and safety of our employees and members.

Some things you should know when visiting one of our SUMA branches:

  • You will be personally greeted upon your arrival. Entry will be limited depending on the number of members inside and available staff. Please have proper identification readily available and be prepared to wait outside the credit union until the greeter determines that it is safe for you to enter.
  • All persons entering the credit union building must wear a mask for the duration of their visit.
  • Hand-sanitizing stations are located at every entrance and you will be required to use them upon entering.
  • You will be required to maintain social distancing in all areas, staying a minimum of six-feet away from other members and staff.
  • We have increased our sanitizing treatment of common areas and protective shields are in place at all teller stations and representative offices.
We thank you for your cooperation and we continue to look forward to providing you the best possible financial services - even during these uncertain times.

There has been an increase in thefts from mailboxes in the area recently. Mail thefts have been reported in Yonkers, Bronxville and throughout Westchester. Protect yourself so you don’t fall victim to mailbox theft!
Here are ten tips to avoid having checks and other important mail stolen: 
  1. Go paperless! Take advantage of SUMA’s Online & Mobile Banking services, and specifically BillPay, Alerts and P2P payments. Paying your bills and other items directly from your checking account is safe and easy. When you’re conducting your financial transactions through digital banking, you’re far more protected than when you send checks through the mail. Digital banking enables you to set up alerts telling you when a check clears and more! If you don’t have online and mobile banking, now is the time to set it up.
  2. Refrain from sending checks, gift cards, cash and personal information through the mail.
  3. If you absolutely need to mail a check, gift card or other important item, do so directly from the post office. But beware; these items may be sitting in someone else’s mailbox when they get delivered.
  4. When writing out checks that need to be mailed, be sure to use ink that cannot be erased, such as a gel pen.
  5. Avoid using your mailbox flag. A mailbox flag signals that something is inside not only to your postal carrier, but also to a thief.
  6. Don’t allow your mail to accumulate in your box for too long. This includes incoming and outgoing. If you need to mail out bills, rather than leaving them in your mailbox when you go to work in the morning, drop them at the post office. If you’re going out of town, ask a trusted neighbor to pick up your mail or have the post office hold it.
  7. Have lots of checks coming in or going out? Then consider renting a post office box. It’s the safest way to have your mail delivered.
  8. Consider a locking mailbox. It’s similar to a normal mailbox, except mail can be put in, but only taken out with the use of a key. If you get lot’s of packages, this may not be the best option for you.
  9. Monitor bank activity and your credit report closely, so you catch any discrepancies quickly.
  10. Most importantly, if you see something suspicious around any mailbox, report it to the police immediately.

Making these important changes can help you reduce your chance of being a victim of mail theft and also identity theft. Remember, mail theft is a federal offense. If you believe you were the victim of mail theft, it’s important to report it immediately.
