SchoolsFirst Federal Credit Union is a member-owned financial cooperative based in Santa Ana, California, founded in 1934. Its product suite mirrors standard financial services, but as a credit union, any excess earnings are returned to members through lower loan rates, higher savings yields, and reduced fees, reflecting a focus on member benefits and community-oriented service. The organization emphasizes a people-centric approach and supports communities through events, donations, scholarships, and financial literacy programs. It serves school employees and their families across California and is the largest education-based credit union in the United States, ranking among the largest credit unions by assets. The institution operates under Equal Housing Opportunity, is federally insured by the NCUA, and is an equal opportunity employer that participates in E-Verify. In June 2026, it announced seven new branches across California, signaling ongoing expansion.
