Southern

Federal is ready for Y2K

The southern Federal

Credit Union is working hard to dispel the worry or

anxiety that members may have about Y2K.

Late last

month, the credit union hosted a special Y2K Day at their

Fayetteville branch.

The day was

planned in order for members to see first-hand that the

credit union is Y2K ready and will be in good operating

order on the first day of the year.

The

computers were set to Jan.1, 2000 and members were

allowed to conduct mock transactions to see if any

problems arose.

Transactions

that took place included fund transfers, loan payments

and money posits and withdrawals. There were no problems,

and members were given a receipt showing that the

transaction took place on Jan.1, 2000.

"We

wanted to allow our members the chance to see that we are

ready and the computer system at the credit union will

perform properly," said Mickey Garland, marketing

director at the credit union.

"Our

members can be confidant that the Southern Federal Credit

Union will serve them in the year 2000 and beyond,"

he added.
