CICERO, N.Y. — Sidney Federal Credit Union (sfcu) announced it has chosen 8062 Brewerton Road in Cicero as the location of its planned flagship Syracuse–area branch.
It’s located in front of the Cicero Walmart Supercenter and just across the street from Target.
The new branch will feature the same concierge-style concept that sfcu established in its Amsterdam location that opened last fall. That branch features teller pods and interactive teller machines (iTMs) with integrated video capabilities that allow members to connect virtually with a sfcu representative during transactions.
