Message from our CEO

Today, we join you in facing another wave of impacts from this pandemic. Throughout this period, our priorities have remained the same:

  • Be here for our members
  • Keep our staff and members safe

To ensure we continue meeting those objectives amid increased staff absenteeism, we will be temporarily reducing the hours we are open to walk-in traffic as detailed below. I also remind all visitors that masks are required to enter any of our SASCU locations per Provincial Health Order. We have one available if you forget yours. Thank you for continuing to journey through these changing times with us.

Barry Delaney
President & CEO
SASCU Financial Group

Yes. Everyone over the age of five is required to wear a mask in branch. No exceptions. Other coverings such as face shields do not meet the Provincial Health Order and are not acceptable. If you do not have a mask, one will be provided. Alternatively, we are happy to serve you via any of our other ways to bank.
