Becoming an SCU member is easier than you think!

It’s important to know a credit union is a not-for-profit, member-owned, financial institution. This means those who have accounts in the credit union are its members and owners. Any person, business or organization wishing to become a member of Southbridge Credit Union must live, work or operate within our sphere of operation which includes the Massachusetts counties of Worcester, Bristol, Franklin, Hampshire, Norfolk, Hampden and Middlesex. It also includes Windham County in Connecticut. You can open a membership account today at any of our locations with as little as a $5 balance in a prime share account – this serves ‘as a share’.

What Do We Mean When We Say “We’ve Got You”?

People don’t often think of a bank the way they think of a friend or a trusted neighbor. But we’re not a bank. We’re a credit union. We don’t have customers. We have members. Watch our video featuring real employees and members.

At Southbridge Credit Union, we’ve got you.
