$50,000 Heading to Schools and Credit Union Members as Part of New SSFCU Campaign.

SAN ANTONIO -- $25,000 is on the table for five schools as part of Security Service Federal Credit Union's (SSFCU) current membership drive. Aptly named "It's So Easy!," the campaign has the credit union giving away five $5,000 cash prizes to five lucky winners. Each of those winners will then get to choose a school within SSFCU's field of membership to receive a matching $5,000 donation from the credit union. New members who open a new checking account between now and the end of the year are automatically entered to win one of the cash prizes.

There is no minimum balance required and no monthly service charges on a basic checking account. SSFCU offers several additional checking options, including dividend-accruing, business and member reward accounts. A free "SwitchKit" is available online at www.ssfcu.org to take the hassle out of switching financial institutions.

"What better way is there to do a promotion than helping to benefit both our members and local schools at the same time?" asks John Worthington, senior vice president for SSFCU. "With the increase of so many everyday necessities like gas and electricity, members who win can ease some of their financial burdens by paying off bills, and schools will have some additional monetary resources for their students - it's a win, win situation."
