Our Proud History

The Credit Union started in November, 1946, when twelve individuals submitted a request to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to form the SAC Federal Credit Union. The first location of the present SAC Federal Credit Union was Andrews Field, Maryland. From those humble beginnings, the Credit Union has had many milestones in its history. Here are just a few that will show you how we've changed:
