Tell me a little bit about Sperry associates and what makes this organization unique.
Sperry Associates Federal Credit Union is a member owned financial institution that is based in the heart of Nassau County in Garden City Park. We have been in existence since 1936 when a team of Sperry Gyroscope employees Sperry Rand is a major defense contractor we have continued on the credit union part of the company. We’re continuing their legacy. We’ve been around for over 80 years and we’re proudly serving the Long Island community. Credit unions are unique because the difference between a bank and a credit union really is that a bank has the interest of shareholders while in a credit union, it answers to its members. When you become a member of the credit union you become what’s called a member over when you put a dollar into a savings account or whatever they’re federally regulated minimum is for that particular institution.
