SafeAmerica Credit Union

SafeAmerica is a $400 million community-chartered Credit Union, organized under regulatory laws that are monitored and enforced by the Department of Business Oversight (DBO). Originally chartered in 1953 to serve the employees of Safeway Incorporated, SafeAmerica now operates in Northern California principally in the San Francisco Bay Area with branches in Pleasanton, Pleasant Hill, Antioch and Hayward. SafeAmerica serves the California counties of Alameda, Contra Costa, San Mateo and Santa Clara as well as numerous employer groups including Financial Fitness Association. The mission of SafeAmerica Credit Union is to exceed the level of members expectations by providing superior personal service, attractive financial products to fulfill members needs and convenient means of access while maintaining a safe and sound financial institution. Our values are the continuous commitment to service excellence, financial growth and integrity. Credit Unions are not for profit organizations, unlike banks, which are in the business of making money for their shareholders. Membership entitles you to a share as a "financial partner". Rather than paying stockholders, credit unions return earnings to members in the form of higher dividends, lower loan rates and reduced transactional fees. This means you can enjoy low cost loans and higher yields on savings and investment options.
