This summer, I was given the opportunity to go on a trip to Italy next summer with my seventh grade Civics teacher and a few of my classmates. My first thought was 'How am I going to raise $2,500?' I talked to my mom, and she said that if I earned $500 by August 30th, I could go. Good thing I had all that money saved up in change. At all the places I checked, though, the change machines would keep about 7% of your money. Then my dad told me that if I started or had a Student account at Space Coast Credit Union, I could get my change counted for free. So on the next Monday, my parents and I decided to get me an account at Space Coast. Every time I went to deposit money at SCCU, it's been quick and easy, and the tellers are always really nice and helpful. That's how SCCU helped me save up for my trip to Italy next summer. - Kelsey S., member since July 2007
I really proved to (my parents) that I was serious about getting a car and I did all the correct steps to fulfilling my desire of owning a car. I can't thank SCCU enough for making this possible. - Alicia M., member since June 2007
I discovered a wonderful time saver using SCCU this summer. My grandchildren each have savings accounts at SCCU. I realized directly depositing their birthday checks into their accounts was more convenient than giving checks to their parents. Thanks, SCCU! - Sally M., member since 1991
