Shaw University Federal Credit Union
Shaw University Federal Credit Union (SUFCU) is a cooperative non-profit financial institution organized to provide its members with a place to save and a source of loans at reasonable rates. The SUFCU, charted under the Federal Credit Union Act, was
founded in 1969 as a member-owned and member-controlled, not-for-profit financial institution. The chief mission of SUFCU is to permit Shaw University employees to save, borrow and participate in its management. SUFCU is funded by shares purchased
by its members. The purchase of a share allows the member to become an owner with the right to vote. Member control is exercised democratically, regardless of the number of shares held.
For more information, contact SUFCU at 919-546-8373.
