Nothing beats the sound of skates on ice and the roar of the crowd! ?? And we were there for all the action! We love meeting our members (and potential new ones) at our sponsored Syracuse Crunch games. Not only are we spinning the wheel for cool Summit swag, we're also hearing how much Crunch fans love our exclusive Crunch Visa? Debit Card. We were eager to see all the costumes at Retro Game Night, too! See the Crunch Visa? Debit Card for yourself: www.summitfcu.org/Crunch Make sure to stop by our table on April 4th for Pucks for Paws, where your pup can join in on the fun! #thesummitfcu #Elevatingtheordinary #banking #creditunion #community #sponsor #hockey #syracusecrunch #crunch #syracuseny

Employee Appreciation 2025!??? Our employees are truly umbre-lievable! ?Going above and beyond throughout the year to help our members achieve their financial goals, our employees were showered with treats, thank you notes and a gift of a Summit umbrella.

Fighting childhood bedlessness one bed at a time! ??? All children deserve a safe, comfortable place to lay their heads. Across the US, too many boys and girls go without a bed – or even a pillow – to sleep on. Today, we are eager to announce a two-year, $30,000 commitment to Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP) chapters in Buffalo, Rochester, and Syracuse. $10,000 will be dispersed to each of the three SHP chapters over the next two years to assist in supporting their mission of ensuring that no kid sleeps on the floor in our towns and cities! SHP has 350 chapters with thousands of dedicated volunteers who have built, assembled, and delivered more than 260,000 beds to children in need. With child bedlessness affecting approximately 2-3 percent of children in communities across America, the math is clear: millions of children still need the help of SHP. In addition to the monetary donation, The Summit will be hosting and participating in bed builds, deliveries, and member-facing pillow and bedding drives over the next two years. Stay tuned for details about our pillow drive!

Fostering the next generation! ?? Mark DuPont, our Talent Acquisition Coordinator, and Patti Russell, our Cortland Branch Manager, had an incredible time connecting with students from 11 local high schools at the 2025 High School Interactive Opportunity Fair at SUNY Cortland. This was more than your ordinary trade fair, it was a chance to engage with the next generation and spark their interest in careers in the financial industry! Meeting some very talented students in this setting definitely gives us hope for the future and we hope in turn that we were able to inspire them about career possibilities as they begin to plan for their future! #thesummitfcu #Elevatingtheordinary #banking #creditunion #community #highschool #tradefair #opportunityfair #sunycortland #cortlandny

Happy Retirement, Joe! ?? We celebrated Joe Stramonine as he retired after 14 years as our Facilities Technician, looking after the comfort, safety, security, and convenience of our staff and members who visited all of the branches within our footprint. John Zink, Facilities Manager, commented, "Joe's professionalism and integrity, along with his everyday job-well-done performance, has never wavered. His hands-on skills, willingness, dependability, creative thinking, good decision making, and hard work are going to be greatly missed." We wish him all the best on this new chapter! #thesummitfcu #Elevatingtheordinary #banking #creditunion #retirement #employee #employeeculture

Empowering seniors against fraud! ?? We hosted our first free Senior Fraud Seminar of 2025 at the Hilton Community Center. Tina Longwell, our Senior Business Relations Account Executive, and Kimberly King, our Hilton and Irondequoit Branch Manager, discussed the latest scams while participants shared their own personal experiences regarding fraud and identity theft. We loved seeing the friendly, familiar faces of our members from the Hilton branch! We're on a mission to empower and educate our seniors so that they don't become victims of frauds and scams. If you are a Senior Center in Rochester, Buffalo, Syracuse, Seneca Falls, or Cortland and are interested in hosting this free presentation, please contact Tina at [email protected]. #thesummitfcu #Elevatingtheordinary #banking #creditunion #community #education #seminar #fraud #identitytheft #hiltonny

Happy International Women's Day! ?? Today, we celebrate the incredible women at The Summit and all the amazing work they're doing in our industry! We had a fantastic time on Wear Red Day, celebrating with laughter and smiles. Did you know that according to a 2023 Deloitte analysis, more women are climbing the ranks to C-suite and board positions in financial institutions than ever before? Over the past decade, the number of women in leadership roles in financial services has surged past that of men. Currently, women hold 18% of leadership positions globally in this field. While women are at 9% for senior roles now, projections show that could reach 14% by 2030! A special salute to our own trailblazers, like our President and CEO, Laurie Baker, and the fabulous women on our Senior Leadership Team! Your leadership is an inspiration, paving the way for future generations! #thesummitfcu #Elevatingtheordinary #banking #creditunion #community #internationalwomensday #iwd2025 #empowerwomen
