In 1954, actress Marilyn Monroe married baseball player Joe DiMaggio and Boeing launched the 707 jumbo jet. It was a year to enjoy world peace and to focus on innovations that would change our way of life into the next century.
"1954" is also a great number to remember at STCU. It's the last four-digits of our phone number (326-1954) and it's our new post office box mailing address, too!
STCU
P.O. Box 1954
Spokane, WA 99210-1954
Using the old address may work for a while, but the U.S. Postal Service can't guarantee your mail will get to us on time unless you write our new "P.O. Box 1954" address on the envelope. That's important if you're counting on the timely deposit of a check or need to make a loan payment before the due date.
Delays in receiving your mail up to seven days may be experienced if you use the old P.O. number.
So remember to use "P.O. Box 1954." It's the number to call and the number to mail.
