SALISBURY, MD---State Employees Credit Union of Maryland (SECU MD) and Salisbury University have announced a new partnership naming SECU as the university's Official Banking Partner. The collaboration will bring financial wellness resources, educational programming and student support initiatives to SU students, faculty, staff, families and alumni, with additional visibility through campus life and Sea Gull athletics.

The partnership centers on making financial guidance easy to find and genuinely useful for the SU community, from first-year students opening their first checking account or beginning to build credit, to graduating seniors preparing for life after college. A new co-branded SECU at SU landing page will serve as the central hub for financial wellness resources, upcoming workshops, student support funds and partnership information, and will anchor outreach across campus signage, email, social media and printed materials.

"This partnership reflects our shared belief that financial wellness is an essential building block of student success and serves to make the next generation of Marylanders stronger. We're proud to support the Salisbury University community with resources that help students build confidence today and set them up for the ever-changing world and many milestones ahead," said David Sweiderk, President and CEO of SECU MD.

The partnership features:

• A co-branded debit card, SECU at SU landing page and additional co-branded on-campus collaborations
• Financial wellness workshops covering budgeting, credit-building, scam prevention and more
• Student support funds and an approved SECU scholarship program
• Family Portal content for incoming students and families
• Integration with Salisbury Athletics, including Sea Gull Sports Network, Maroon & Gold Club benefits and Sea Gull Stadium activations
• SU support for SECU’s annual Kindness Campaign each October

"Financial confidence is an important part of preparing our students for success, both during their time at SU and beyond graduation," said Dr. Carolyn Ringer Lepre, President of Salisbury University. “We are proud to welcome SECU as our Official Banking Partner and to connect our community with resources that can help build strong financial habits for the future.  As a university committed to lifelong learning, we value partners who share our dedication to empowering the next generation. SECU’s focus on financial wellness, education and community service reflects that shared commitment and makes this partnership a natural fit for Salisbury University."
