WHO WE ARE

CU History

Sea Air Federal Credit Union was founded in 1952 to provide affordable financial services. Today we serve more than 7,800 members including: active military, retired military, reserves and civilians working or living on the base (in Seal Beach Weapons Station, Los Alamitos Joint Training Base, and Corona Naval Facility), residents of Sunset Beach, City of Seal Beach employees, and members of USA Water Polo.

As a not-for-profit cooperative, income earned by the Credit Union is returned to the members. That means we provide you with an outstanding selection of loan options with the lowest rate possible. Whether you are trying to finance the car of your dreams or buy the first car for your teenager, plan a vacation or plan for college tuition, our lending officers can help you determine what loan choice is better for you.

No matter where you live, work or travel, you will always have acces to your account with our convenient services.

President's Message

"Keeping your funds safe is a priority for our credit union."

In light of the recent well-publicized events regarding issues at various financial institutions, I wanted to reassure our members that their funds at Sea Air Federal Credit Union are safe and secure. Keeping your funds safe is a priority for our credit union. First, your savings are federally insured up to at least $250k by the Share Insurance Fund via the National Credit Union Administration (similar to the FDIC but for credit unions) and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government. The insurance amount may be higher depending on joint owners, beneficiaries, etc. In addition, we offer an additional $250k of insurance through our private insurer, American Share Insurance. Finally, we have strong reserves, giving us an equity ratio of 23%, which is one of the highest in the country. If you have any questions or concerns, our staff is here for you. We value your trust and appreciate your membership with our credit union.

Michael Pardon, Chief Executive Officer & President

WHAT IS A CREDIT UNION?

What is a credit union?

A credit union is a cooperative, not-for-profit financial institution organized to promote financial well being or savings and provide credit to members. It is member-owned and controlled through a board of directors elected by the membership. Members of the credit union make up the board of directors. The board serves on a volunteer basis and may hire a management team to run the credit union. The board also establishes and revises policy, sets dividend and loan rates, and directs certain operations. The goal is not to make a profit but provide a safe, convenient place for members to save and borrow at reasonable rates. To learn even more about credit unions visit www.MyCreditUnion.gov

Your Insured Funds

Rest assured that your deposits are safe at Sea Air Federal Credit Union. All savings accounts are insured to at least $250,000 by the NCUA, the National Credit Union Administration, an agency of the federal government. In addition, American Share Insurance (ASI) provides excess savings insurance with an additional $250,000 at no cost to members.

Safe & Sound

At Sea Air Federal Credit Union, the supervisory committee oversees the operations of the credit union ensuring that your deposits are safe and sound.
