Membership and Savings
What is a credit union, exactly?
A credit union is a financial institution that is cooperatively owned by the members (patrons) who use their services. We are also not-for-profit, so each year once our expenses and legal reserves have been set aside, the excess profit is returned to the membership. In the case of SCCU, we distribute our profits through member-friendly pricing on our savings and loan products, branch and technology upgrades, and more.
How can I join SCCU?
Please see our Joining SCCU Page to view eligibility requirements. We will need you to open the account with a valid (non-expired) photo ID showing your current address and $5 to establish a membership savings account. Once a member, you can enjoy all the products and services SCCU has to offer.
Is my savings secure at SCCU?
We are insured by the National Credit Union Association (NCUA) a U.S. government agency. Your savings are insured to up to $250,000.
What’s the difference between Traditional and Roth IRAs?
Traditional and Roth IRAs vary on when and how they’re taxed. With Traditional IRAs, the earnings grow tax-deferred until withdrawn and your contributions may be tax-deductible. With Roth IRAs, your regular contributions can be withdrawn penalty-free and tax-free at any time. There are also certain circumstances when you can draw out of a Roth IRA penalty-free. Check out our IRA page for details.*
