SCU in the Community

Local Banking Matters.

Building community is a core part of our mission.

Helping the community succeed and thrive.

At Sacramento Credit Union, we believe in the power of mutual support — we help our community succeed and thrive, our community help us succeed as well. We exist to make financial lives better through access, education, and personalized service. Our commitment goes beyond banking — we support local schools, small businesses, law enforcement, and events that strengthen our region.

“At SCU, we’re committed to delivering meaningful value with every member interaction. It’s not just about delivering great banking products and services — it’s about improving financial lives, building long-term trust, and ensuring the strength and growth of our credit union and community.”

— Bhavnesh Makin, President & CEO
