The vision of Walter B. Nelson, a Grants Pass High School teacher, and six fellow teachers, SOFCU started life as Josephine County Teachers Federal Credit Union. This is where SOFCU's values of educating its members were born.

Those roots ingrain an attitude toward taking care of members and providing exceptional service at every opportunity. It was a key element of our culture back then and remains the cornerstone of our credit union today.

Operating ten branches in Josephine, Jackson, Douglas, Deschutes, Coos, Lane, and Klamath counties, we gladly serve over 33,000 members. And counting. Become a SOFCU member.

A credit union is a member-owned and directed financial cooperative, organized to serve its members. Credit unions are also non-profits, which means that any excess funds are returned to members in lower interest rates on loans, higher dividends on savings, and expanded services.

By becoming a SOFCU member, you're not just getting lower loan rates, higher paying savings, and a variety of convenient services at little or no cost. You'll be treated to the kind of personal attention and concern for your financial well-being you're not likely to find at a bank.

You'll feel like you're a part of something special, because you are. Members are all equal owners in the credit union. Every decision made, every service offered is for your benefit. That's the credit union difference.
