SunWest Credit Union is a mid-sized, member-owned financial institution operating in the banking sector, based in Glendale, Arizona. Founded in 1937 by 12 telephone workers as a cooperative, it was established to serve members and help people thrive financially rather than exploit them. As a credit union, its focus is on serving individuals and communities, emphasizing financial well-being and personal advancement. In recent years, SunWest has expanded its geographic footprint, including adding a Surprise, Arizona location in 2016, and pursued modernization through partnerships to enhance member experiences and staff workflows. In early 2023, Leslie Shepard was appointed president and CEO, signaling leadership continuity for the credit union's strategic direction.
