It's Easy to Qualify Your Company for Membership
By becoming a Sunward partner company, you'll be able to provide
your employees the benefits that come with Sunward membership. This
includes a commitment to financial wellness, which can impact
overall employee performance, morale, engagement and productivity
while reducing costs associated with hiring and turnover as
employees create more financial stability for themselves.
Why not give your employees the benefit of financial wellness?
HOW TO QUALIFY
- Address the letter to the Sunward Board of Directors
- The letter must include your business' physical address
-
The letter must be signed by an official representative of your
company or local division, identified by title (e.g., President,
CEO, Manager, Managing Member)
-
You may mail the letter to the address provided on the sample
letter, or email it to jbachmann@gosunward.org.
-
The letter should include:
-
The reason your company chose Sunward as an employee benefit.
(Examples: branch proximity; employees who are comfortable
with using our free computer home banking program;
company's technology mission; other businesses in the
CU's field of membership)
- The approximate number of employees at your facility
- The type of business your company conducts
-
How many miles your company or local division is located from
an Sunward branch and the address of the Sunward location
nearest to your office (branch locations)
-
The name of the person we should contact if your company is
approved, including title, email address, and phone number
-
If your company or local division has more than 3,000
employees, you must also include a statement that you do not
provide any other credit union for your employees, and the
reasons why your company cannot start its own credit union
APPROVAL PROCESS
Requests are reviewed weekly by our Board of Directors. Following
Board approval, your request will be submitted online to the
National Credit Union Administration (NCUA). NCUA approval can take
up to 14 business days following the Board of Director's
decision. We'll let you know the final decision as soon as
possible.

Once your company has been approved, we will contact you to discuss
the most appropriate methods of informing your employees about
Sunward membership benefits, such as:
- On-site enrollment and information sessions
- New hire packet information
- Payroll inserts announcing Credit Union benefits
- Presentation at staff meetings
-
On-site, no-cost financial seminars (Please let us know if
