The SECTA Roadrunner Branch is located at 5710 S. Mountain Vista Street, Las Vegas, NV 89120. It will provide all students and teachers access to basic financial transactions, as well as an on-site ATM, and will be open to SECTA students, teachers, administrators, and staff. However, it will not be open to the public. Students are selected to participate as “Student Tellers” and they receive mentorship in the areas of branch operations, financial products, services, procedures and financial literacy.

Silver State Schools Credit Union will also donate a percentage of interchange income back to Southeast Career Technical Academy. The credit union will also be providing financial literacy seminars for students and parents as part of the in-school branch program.
