We’re Proud of Our Military Background

Scott Credit Union was founded in May of 1943 by a group of visionaries from Scott Field who decided to create a local credit union where the average person could save and borrow money. To this day, our ties to Scott Air Force Base and members of the military remain strong. We continue to operate as the only credit union on base and serving our members of the military is still a central focus.

A big thank you to our veterans from our partner, the Defense Credit Union Council!
