Our Story

A legacy of community and financial empowerment.

Born of necessity

Staying true to our roots

Our purpose never faltered

The essence of Securityplus Federal Credit Union

Being a not-for-profit financial institution means we provide lower rates on loans, higher dividends, and more services with fewer or lower fees. Once you're a member, you enjoy membership benefits for life!

Born of Necessity

Securityplus Federal Credit Union was born out of the dire need for financial safety during the time of the Great Depression. It was in 1938 when a group of forward-thinking neighbors decided to pool their resources together. Their shared savings provided access to affordable credit at a time when people had nowhere else to turn. This act of collective trust and cooperation allowed our initial members to survive tough times, buy homes, educate their children, and establish small businesses that fueled economic growth. It was, quite literally, the embodiment of turning $1 into $1 million.

We Stayed True to Our Roots

For over 80 years, Securityplus has stayed true to its founding purpose - people helping people. As we grew, we never lost sight of our community-focused mission. While other institutions prioritized profits, we prized the well-being of our members. Through recessions and recoveries, we stood as a trusted partner, offering guidance and customized solutions to help members prosper. Through thick and thin, our Credit Union grew, never straying from our community-focused ethos. In times of economic booms or recessions, we stood strong as a reliable ally.

Reminders of Our Purpose

To this day, Securityplus remains driven by service, not profit. Our unique member-owned structure allows us to focus solely on each member's financial success. Our journey has been one of overcoming challenges together. By pooling our resources, supporting one another, and fostering resilience, we empower our members to not only survive but thrive in the face of challenges. We firmly believe that our destinies are intertwined, and that is why we wholeheartedly embrace your story as our own, your dreams as our purpose, and your trust as our enduring legacy.
