SMCU IN THE COMMUNITY: New North Fair Oaks Branch Ever since we opened our doors in 1952, San Mateo Credit Union has been committed to active involvement in the communities we serve. Meeting the needs of a diverse spectrum of member-owners has always been a priority, and we do so with a focus on cost-efficiency, convenience and courtesy. In keeping with this philosophy, we are pleased to announce that we officially opened a new branch in the North Fair Oaks community. Located at 3117 Middlefield Road in Redwood City, this branch provides a full range of financial services. All members of the staff are fluent in both Spanish and English, making it easy for member-owners to conduct financial transactions in their language of choice. At SMCU, we respect the demographic diversity of our communities, and we are honored to do our part to ensure that every resident’s needs are met appropriately and efficiently. 2 FALL 07 http://www.smcu.org
