About Southside Credit Union

Member-owned. Community-focused. Serving our neighbors since 1962.

Our story

Southside Credit Union was founded in 1962 by a small group of local workers who believed banking should serve people — not shareholders. That founding principle still guides everything we do today.

As a not-for-profit financial cooperative, we're owned by our members. That means every dollar of profit goes back into better rates, lower fees, and stronger communities — not into executive bonuses.

Today we serve over 12,000 members across the region, with $250M+ in assets under management. But our mission hasn't changed: to help our members achieve financial success.
