SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Endwell-based-Visions Federal Credit Union (FCU) on Friday Jan. 12 formally opened its financial-readiness kiosk area at Syracuse University’s (SU) National Veterans Resource Center (NVRC) at the Daniel & Gayle D’Aniello Building on campus.
This resource for student veterans and military families is made possible by the collaboration between Visions FCU and SU’s Office of Veteran and Military Affairs (OVMA), Visions said in its announcement.
The financial-readiness kiosk seeks to provide “support and guidance” for SU’s veteran and military-connected community, Visions said. Financial-readiness modules, online resources, and an event calendar will help in “navigating financial challenges and achieving long-term economic stability in a convenient and interactive way.”
