Partners for a better Maryland
As Maryland’s largest credit union, it only makes sense for SECU (pronounced see-cue) to partner with the Maryland Terrapins. We share the University of Maryland’s commitment to improving the lives of our state’s students, athletes, and community members.
And we believe that together, we can build a stronger future for Maryland.
Why You Should Become A SECU Member
We could go on and on about why you should choose SECU and how easy it is to join the official banking partner of the Maryland Terrapins, but first, a bit about us. Pronounced see-cue, we’re not a bank, but a not-for-profit credit union—a safer, smarter banking alternative with way better benefits.
SECU is Maryland’s largest credit union with 25 branches throughout Maryland and 50,000+ free ATMs nationwide. Plus, you’ll have full access to your accounts through mobile and online banking.

What you’ll find at SECU.
As a credit union, our members are also part owners. So you have a say in the future of SECU, and you’re welcome to stay for life.
Unlike the big banks, when we make money it comes back to you through lower loan rates, higher deposit rates, and fewer & lower fees.
All of the modern banking conveniences are here: bill pay, check deposits, money transfers, you name it—it can all be done from your mobile device.
Online banking just got easier. Here, you can do most of your day-to-day banking, set up virtual appointments, chat with Member Advisors, and so much more.
Our member advisors do what’s right for you, every time. That means they take the time to understand your goals and help you achieve them.
Your overall financial wellness is our focus. That’s why we offer free services to help you learn to budget, improve your credit score, plan for retirement, and more.
We would be nothing without our local community, so we keep our business here and give back in meaningful ways.
This is how we bring you lower rates and fewer fees. We have absolutely no financial relationships or investments with any brokerage firm.
