Discover Why Stella Ditched Her Big Bank for SUN Credit Union

We get it. Being a real estate professional is more than just a job – it’s a lifestyle. Let us tell you about Stella, a fellow real estate pro in Hollywood, FL, who found her perfect financial partner in SUN Credit Union.

Stella's Story

Stella jumped into real estate to be more available for her son and husband. She wanted the flexibility to attend school events and spend quality time with them. But when the market went nuts two years ago, she found herself constantly glued to her phone. She was making good money, but part of her was always in real estate mode – the phone might as well have been an extension of her ear.

Stella had banked with a big bank for years. Her life as a realtor was already hectic, juggling multiple listings, meeting clients, and managing her finances. She needed a bank that made things easier, not harder.

The Breaking Point:

One day, after a particularly frustrating visit to her big bank where she felt like just another number, Stella realized she needed a change. The impersonal service and high rates were simply not worth it. That experience was the last straw.

A Glimmer of Hope:

Stella remembered seeing SUN Credit Union at a real estate expo in Hollywood. To her, we seemed different – more personal and understanding of her needs. Curious and hopeful, she decided to give us a try. Between showings, she quickly got online and opened an account. The process took less than 10 minutes – a perfect fit for her busy schedule.

The SUN Credit Union Experience

From the moment Stella joined, she felt the difference. She received a friendly phone call welcoming her and offering assistance. The personal touch didn’t stop there. Our member service representatives recognized her instantly when she walked in to make a large deposit, greeting her with a bright smile. Stella was no longer just another number; she was part of the SUN family.
