The Company

At Scott Credit Union, we truly value our employees. While our buildings convey the Scott Credit Union name that our members know to trust, it’s the faces inside that make it much more than a place of business. These faces represent the promise that we will help each member make the most of their money, in the simplest manner possible- all while getting to know members personally by name and not by a number. Credit unions were built upon a “people helping people” philosophy. Not only do our employees help their members and fellow teammates, but they are also dedicated to helping the local communities that support us.

At Scott Credit Union, we encourage and incent our employees to volunteer in our local communities that so diligently support us. If you are an energetic, hard-working individual with a passion to help others, we encourage you to explore career opportunities with the Scott Credit Union team.
