“What we’re seeing is that members are looking for a way to get involved without leaving an organization they already trust,” said CEO Jed Meyer. “This big event tells us that when you bring this technology into a popular, trusted environment, people respond.”
An independent form of Hybrid bitcoin

The project is still limited to members at this time, although SFCCU plans to expand business opportunities with additional markets in the coming months.

The goal is to allow members to access more digital services without the need to migrate to new platforms.
