SIU Credit Union was founded in 1938 as Jackson County Teachers' Credit Union. Today, we serve 24 counties and many employer groups in southern Illinois. As a not-for-profit, member owned, financial cooperative, we believe in serving our membership instead of maximizing profits. At a credit union there are no shareholders or investors – members are the owners. Profits are given back to members in the form of lower fees, better rates, discount programs, and more. We also value giving back to our communities by donating and volunteering for a variety of charities and organizations. After all, we're in the business of people helping people. SIU Credit Union is our name, but you don't need to work at Southern Illinois University or be a student to become a member. You can learn more about membership on our website at: https://www.siucu.org/join-us We're working for you.
