Ghost a few of these money habits this fall and see how your savings stack up.

🧟 Unused subscriptions - Ditch old apps that are still haunting you.

🥐 Grocery shopping without a plan – Plan meals ahead and make a list. (Include quick, easy options to avoid impulse buying takeout!)

💳 Minimum payments – Only paying the minimum on your credit card bill each month is a ticket to high interest rates.

🕵️‍♀️ Answering/clicking suspicious calls or texts – Know the signs of phishing and other scams to protect yourself from fraud.

💵 Not automating savings – Grow an emergency fund by setting up a regular transfer from your primary account to savings.

🏦 Big banks – Credit unions are not-for-profit and owned by members whose profits are invested back into the community. What’s not to love?

Anneth didn’t just need a new car. She needed a lender like Astrid, who cared enough to listen and ask questions. With a little extra time and attention, Astrid found a loan that saved Anneth thousands on her dream car.

That’s what ‘service’ means in financial services. It’s not a buzzword. Nothing flashy—just real human connection.

We love this community. 💜 From celebrating employees at Balloon Fiesta to popping up in the SunBuzz with free breakfast at watch spots around Albuquerque, this week has been so rewarding. It reminds us of why we’re so proud to have served this amazing city for 78 years.

…Now, time for a siesta.

To keep up in a competitive industry like financial services, leaders have to be quick learners. That’s why we’re so lucky to have Ann Baur as our Senior Vice President of Retail Experience here at Sunward.

We are set to open our 18th branch this fall—the third new branch in Albuquerque this year alone—and that’s no accident. It’s largely thanks to the vision and can-do culture Ann has cultivated, leading our retail team into a period of historic growth. This optimistic, people-focused approach also creates better banking experiences for members, going beyond the transaction level to understand and support their larger financial goals.

Sometimes things aren’t what they appear. 👻 A convincing call or email could be a scammer using AI to impersonate people, businesses, or other institutions you trust. It’s easy to fall for their schemes, but there are telltale signs like:

🚨 Urgent or demanding tone—no matter how important they make it sound, you should verify with the person or business separately using their contact information you know.

🤔 Abnormal requests or language—it can be a red flag if the message seems out of the ordinary or the person communicates differently than your known contact.

As a credit union, caring for the community runs deep. That’s why we banded together to pack 250 hygiene bags for Locker 505, a clothing bank serving local students. This was a bright spot in everyone’s week, and we’re just thankful for the opportunity to give back to the community that’s done so much for us. 💜
