Discover the Service CU Difference
At Service Credit Union, we are dedicated to providing products and services that fit the unique needs of our members. It also means providing access to a 24/7 contact center and a mobile app that allows you to stay on top of your finances wherever you are. Discover how Service CU can support you:
Share Savings
A Share Savings account is the first step to joining the Service Credit Union family. Since we’re owned by our community of savers, your initial deposit says you’re one of us. It couldn’t be simpler; just deposit at least $5, and you’re in.
Youth Club
Learning to save is a lifelong habit, starting with a kid’s first allowance. We make saving fun with our Youth Club.
Visit your local branch to open an account or call us toll-free at 800-936-7730 (U.S.) or 00800-4728-2000 (Int’l).
Holiday Club
The holiday season always seems to come up fast! Smart shoppers plan ahead by setting aside regular contributions to a special higher-dividend savings account. It’s a painless way to make sure you have your gift list covered.
Certificates
A certificate is a savings account where you set aside money for a period of time, from six months to five years. In return, you earn more dividends than you can with regular savings.
Money Market
A money market is a great place to put your savings when your balance grows larger than $2,500. Why? Because a money market pays higher dividends than regular savings accounts—and you get checks for the account.
Trusts
Trusts are like savings accounts, but the money you (as the trustee) deposit is managed for the benefit of someone else (the beneficiary). You can use trusts to help with your estate planning, or to set money aside for a specific purpose or person. We offer informal and formal trusts.
Vehicle Loans
Most people need a car—yet most don’t like the process of buying one. At Service Credit Union, we take away the stress of financing a new or used car with the most competitive rates out there. In fact, if you find a better auto loan rate than ours, we’ll pay you $100*. And with our Indirect Lending program, you can arrange your loan straight from the dealer.
Credit Cards
Credit cards offer more financial flexibility than debit cards, along with valuable benefits. Some earn reward points, while others provide cash back or cover extended warranties on your purchases.
Personal Loans
Personal loans are just that—personalized for your needs. They’re unsecured (not protected by a guarantor, or collateralized by a lien on specific assets of the borrower) and have flexible terms and repayment plans.
Mortgages/Home Equity Loans
From your first home to a jumbo loan, we have you covered.
Business & Commercial Loans
Service Credit Union is passionate about helping businesses in our community. We can provide the capital you need to grow your existing business, build or develop a new business, or buy vehicles or equipment, and we can even advise on applying for government-backed Small Business Administration (SBA) loans.
Student Loans
The Smart Option Student Loan® for Service Credit Union is offered by Sallie Mae®. These private loans, for students at degree-granting institutions, have no origination fee or prepayment penalty. They can be fixed rate or variable rate. You can defer repayment until after you graduate or make small payments while you’re still in school.
