Continuing to serve our St. Francis Members

June 17, 2026

By appointment only

At Southland Credit Union, every decision we make is guided by our commitment to serving Members with care, convenience and long-term value.

After careful evaluation, the St. Francis Express Branch will remain open by appointment only. Our last day of regular service hours will be Tuesday, June 30, 2026. This was not a decision we made lightly. We reviewed Member traffic, operating costs, accessibility and how Members are choosing to bank today. Based on that review, we determined that adjusting hours at this location will allow us to better support Members while continuing to invest in the services and technology they use most.

We understand this change may be meaningful for Members who use the St. Francis Express Branch. Southland will continue to provide service through a dedicated phone number and on site by appointment only, along with convenient access nearby at our full-service branch located only 6.2 miles away at 8545 Florence Ave.

In addition, the ATM currently located in the cafeteria of the hospital can accept deposits, providing another convenient option for Members who work at or visit St. Francis. Southland Members also have access to the CO-OP network of ATMs and Shared Branches for added convenience.  

Banking has changed. Members now expect fast, flexible access to their accounts, whether they are at work, at home or on the go. Southland is responding by investing in a stronger digital experience.

Through Southland’s Digital Banking app, you can check balances, transfer funds, deposit checks, pay bills, make loan payments, manage cards and monitor account activity. These tools provide greater convenience, expanded access and more control over everyday financial needs.

Our goal is not to move away from personal service. It is to make personal service easier to reach for the employees of St. Francis and our Members. 

We are committed to making this transition with transparency, care and support. Southland will continue to serve you through our nearby Downey branch, Digital Banking, phone support and the ATM at St. Francis.

As we look ahead, we are focused on building a modern, accessible and personal banking experience that meets you where you are today and where you are headed tomorrow.
