Learn About SAFE Credit Union and Its Services

With over 80 years of experience, SAFE Credit Union has a long history of providing financial services to its members. It's a not-for-profit organization, meaning any profits are reinvested into the credit union to benefit its members.

SAFE Credit Union offers a wide range of financial services, including checking and savings accounts, loans, and credit cards. Members can also take advantage of online banking and mobile banking services, making it easy to manage their finances on the go.

We're proud to say that SAFE Credit Union has a rich history that spans over 80 years. Founded in 1940 as the Sacramento Air Depot Federal Credit Union, we've grown and evolved to become the credit union we are today.

Our roots run deep in the Sacramento community, with a strong focus on serving our members. We've been around long enough to see changes in the industry and adapt to meet the needs of our members.

We've had our fair share of growth and expansion over the years. In 2007, we acquired Capital Power Credit Union, founded in 1954, and rebranded its one location, retaining the staff. This move helped us expand our services and reach more members.

Our commitment to our members has led us to make strategic decisions that benefit the community. In 2009, we merged with Rancho Cordova-based American River HealthPro Credit Union, and in 2019, we acquired a 25-year naming rights for the area's convention center and performing arts district.

At SAFE, we believe in giving back to the community that supports us. We honor the credit union mission by supporting other not-for-profits through philanthropy, sponsorships, and volunteering.

Our employees are encouraged to get involved in causes they care about, with a generous 16 paid hours a year to volunteer.

We've been around for a while, starting in 1940 as the Sacramento Air Depot Federal Credit Union, serving employees at the Sacramento Air Depot.

Our name has changed over the years, reflecting our growth and evolution. By 1998, our members voted to switch to a state charter, which changed our name to what it is today.

In 2007, we acquired Capital Power Credit Union, founded in 1954, and rebranded its one location, keeping the staff on board.

We've also expanded through mergers, like the one with Rancho Cordova-based American River HealthPro Credit Union in 2009, which resulted in the closure of three of their branches and the rebranding of the fourth as one of our branches.

In 2019, we made a big splash by acquiring the naming rights for the area's convention center and performing arts district for 25 years.

After all these years, we're proud to have had some amazing leaders, like Faye Nabhani, who became our first female President & CEO in 2023.
