Helping the community one member at a time

As a credit union, we operate a little differently than a bank. You can still get the awesome savings accounts and loans you expect from a bank (and often with better rates too!), but with the added benefit of your money staying local. For example, when you put money into one of our savings accounts, that helps us fund someone in your town to buy their dream home for their new family. We also make a lot of donations to local organizations doing amazing things. We'd love for you to join the SCU community! <3
