About Southland Credit Union

The Southland Difference

Your future made easy

Southland Credit Union was founded in 1936 to serve the financial needs of Los Angeles County employees. Today we are one of the top-performing credit unions nationwide and have over $1 billion in assets. Our Member-owners benefit from a full spectrum of competitive products, convenience and exceptional service.

Our Members get much more than lower interest on loans and higher dividends on savings. They become a part of the Southland family, where people are worth more than money. At Southland, treating you with exceptional service is our mission. We take great pride in helping you achieve your dreams, whatever they may be. The service experience you'll receive at Southland is what sets us apart. It’s the Southland Difference!
