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.
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 in the military is still a focus for us today. We work hard to provide our military members, and all of our membership, with the financial services they need whether they are stationed nearby or are abroad and away from their family.
Once you are a member of Scott Credit Union, you can always be a member and take advantage of the value we offer through our large mix of services that can help you reach your financial goals now and in the future.
Accessing your accounts at Scott Credit Union is easy. We offer a full line of free online services, including online banking, online bill pay, and mobile banking. You can even open an account or apply for a loan online.
We are confident that the information on our site and this page will provide our military members with the information they need to manage their finances. We are pleased to provide special information that we hope is helpful to those who serve us in the military.

Links & Information for Military Members

- Blended Retirement System – On January 1, 2018, the new Blended Retirement System (signed into law in 2015) comes into full effect. This new system reflects DoD’s support for retirement savings by offering automatic and matching contributions to a tax-deferred account and will now extend these retirement benefits for all service members. This is an added benefit for junior service members and for those who separate before serving 20 years. Current military members must choose to permanently “opt-in” to the new system or automatically remain in the current system. This means there are some big personal decisions on the financial horizon.
