Sperry Federal Credit Union

Sperry's branch and back offices will be closed on Saturday, July 4th. Happy Independence Day! When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

Many thanks to the Sperry members and employees have donated to Long Island Cares - We're always happy to help our friends and neighbors in our community during troubling times!

A Friendly Reminder Regarding the Availability of Shared Branch Services: Sperry members have the benefit of using shared branch services at our partner institutions across the country, including on Long Island. As the situation with coronavirus evolves and some institutions close certain locations and/or change their branch hours, shared branch availability may change. We advise you to check the official websites of each individual credit union before conducting a shared branch transaction.
