Youth Savings
Unlike other credit unions that charge a membership fee to join, we require only $5 in your savings account to secure your ownership share in the Credit Union and a $10 tax-deductible donation to the nonprofit we founded – the Center for Financial Empowerment. SCE FCU then matches every $10 donation and the funds are gifted directly to the financial education projects in our local communities.
