Why Become A SECU Member
Your Community Is Our Community
While we’re able to provide lower rates and are proud of our personalized service, that’s just scratching the surface of SECU membership.
All across Maryland, we’re deeply rooted in the communities we serve—leading local initiatives, such as financial literacy programs, support for local businesses and our highly successful Kindness Campaign that unites volunteers in acts of goodness.
Join SECU. Bank Proudly.
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.
