Membership Is Ownership

San Francisco Federal Credit Union is a cooperative, owned and operated by its members. This is what distinguishes the Credit Union from other financial institutions. Members put their money in a variety of savings accounts, and that money, in turn, is lent to members. After operating expenses and reserve requirements are met, loan income is returned to all members in the form of dividends and comprehensive financial services.

San Francisco Federal Credit Union is governed by a Board of Directors that establishes and reviews policy. The Directors are Credit Union members who are elected by the Members and serve without pay. Every member has one vote, regardless of their account balances. At the Credit Union, there is no select group of shareholders that profits more than anyone else. All Members profit; individually and collectively.
