About SchoolsFirst Federal Credit Union
SchoolsFirst FCU is a not-for-profit organization rooted in the credit union philosophy of “People Helping People,” and built on traditional values of commitment to service, respect for the individual, and fiscal responsibility. We hold ourselves to the highest standard of integrity, professional ethics, cooperation, and team spirit.
As a financial cooperative, our Members share ownership of their credit union, and have democratic control (one Member, one vote), electing from their midst a volunteer Board of Directors. All excess earnings are passed along to our Members through competitive rates, expanded products and services, and lower fees.
Service is just one of the many things that makes us different from banks and savings and loans. Whether you come in to our branches, call our Telephone Service Center, or visit us online, service is always our first priority.
Our day-to-day decisions, as well as our strategic objectives, are based on what is in the best interest of our Members. We place the welfare of our Members above all other priorities. We recognize the importance of a positive and supportive environment for our team and a financially strong and stable organization, as well as serving all our Members equitably.
