SLFCU’s Los Lunas branch opened in 2009 and serves Valencia County and the surrounding areas, including Los Lunas and Belen. More than 4,500 SLFCU members live in the area, including many Sandia National Laboratories retirees. “Our members appreciate that we have a branch in Los Lunas,” says Branch Manager Rumaldo Garcia. “They’re happy that they don’t have to make a special trip into Albuquerque to manage their accounts.”

All eight employees at the Los Lunas branch also live in the area. “I actually have had members see me outside of work and approach me to say hello or give me a hug,” says Teller/FSR Annette Eppard. “We work on building great relationships with our members.”

Marissa Spitzer, Teller/FSO, agrees. “It’s a rewarding experience to be able to help our members with their needs and develop a friendship with them at the same time.”

Tips from the Los Lunas Staff

“I recommend reviewing your budget every six to 12 months to see what has worked or what changes could be made to improve your financial situation,” suggests Sandra Marquez, a Senior Teller.

Teller/FSR Tynisha Medina suggests setting up multiple savings accounts for different purposes, such as bills or a vacation fund. “It’s too easy to use a paycheck on something impulsive rather than thinking about future expenses. “When you separate your money into sub accounts you’ll know how much money is available to use.”
