Credit Union SA is a South Australian Credit Union headquartered in Adelaide, with branches in metropolitan and Regional South Australia. Credit Union SA is South Australia's third largest Credit Union, with over 50,000 members and more than $1 billion in assets.[1] Credit Union SA offers a range of financial services to South Australians, including transaction and saving accounts, fixed term investments, home loans, personal loans, credit cards and insurance. Credit Union SA also provides the $5,000 First Home Buyers Grant [2].


History

Credit Union SA was formed on 1 October 2009 by a merger between former South Australian credit unions Satisfac and Powerstate.[[3][4][5] These credit unions had their origins in the education and industrial sectors respectively. Both Credit Unions have roots in the South Australian community, with Satisfac dating to the 1950s.[6][7][8]

In March 2012, Grant Strawbridge was appointed CEO of Credit Union SA.[9]

Community

Credit Union SA is a supporter of the South Australian education community[10][11] and assists schools by providing funding through their School Community Rewards program. [12]

Credit Union SA has also formed a partnership with St John’s Youth Youth Services in support of at risk young people.[13][14]

Along with several other South Australian credit unions, Credit Union SA is a naming rights sponsor of the Adelaide Christmas Pageant.[15][16][17]
