Important Information About Procedures for Opening a New Account
To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. What this means for you: When you open an account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver's license or other identifying documents.
Celebrate With Us as We Mark 75 Years of Member Service.
The SLFCU story began in October 1948 when a small group of forward-thinking employees at Sandia Laboratories created a better way to manage their finances. Today, almost 140,000 members from all walks of life trust us because we treat our members' financial wellbeing with the same care and concern that they do.

Today, SLFCU has about 140,000 members, $3.6 billion in assets, and 13 branches. We remain committed to delivering financial products that create jobs, housing, security, and growth for our members. By reimagining what a credit union can be, we're redefining the cooperative spirit in financial services. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of our families, neighbors, and friends.
We’re offering exciting new products that help our members keep more of their hard-earned money.
From business loans to mortgages, auto loans, and more, we’re expanding lending in communities where other financial institutions are scaling back, creating financial empowerment for our diverse membership.
