In my 30+ years in Somerset, I have never seen a financial institution with such great service. Keep up the great work, you have a great deal to be proud of.

Yesterday
Inspired by financial cooperatives popular in 19th century Europe, credit unions caught on in America in the early 1900s. Somerset Federal Credit Union’s birth took place in 1936 at Panneton’s Drug Store. The community of farmers and working people came together and founded Somerset’s first financial institution, the “Somerset Community Credit Union.” Since banks of the day would lend only to property owners, the new Credit Union expanded access by loaning money to people based on their good character and proof of steady employment. The financial institution was later renamed “Somerset Federal Credit Union,” and was one of the first credit unions in Massachusetts to own and operate its own building at 1275 County Street.
Today
Now headquartered at 740 County Street in Somerset, Massachusetts, SFCU is proud to have more than 12,000 members and over $202 million in assets. Under the leadership of a member elected Board of Directors, and dedicated Senior Management Team, SFCU continues to look towards the future by providing banking solutions for each generation we serve.
Our Loan Officer, Arlene, was so nice to work with. Her knowledge of the loan process and her ability to listen for what we wanted in a mortgage made the transition go smoothly. A very nice experience.

I have been a member for a very long time. I am always satisfied with whatever I need to do at the Credit Union. The staff is always accommodating and courteous. The hours of operation are also very convenient.

This was the first time I had purchased a vehicle without going through a dealer for financing. When I went to the Credit Union I was seen immediately by the Loan Department. The Loan Officer was very knowledgeable. I was given a list of documents to gather and was promptly taken care of when I returned with them. My wife will be contacting your office about refinancing her student loans.
