Credit Union SA is a South Australian Credit Union headquartered in Adelaide, with a branch at 400 King William Street, Adelaide. Credit Union SA is South Australia's third largest Credit Union, with over 50,000 members and more than $1 billion in assets.[1] Credit Union SA offers a range of financial services to South Australians, including transaction and saving accounts, fixed term investments, home loans, personal loans, credit cards and insurance.

Credit Union SA is a supporter of the South Australian education community.[2][3] Credit Union has also formed a partnership with St John's Youth Youth Services in support of at risk young people.[4][5]

History[edit]

Credit Union SA was formed on 1 October 2009 by a merger between former South Australian credit unions Satisfac and Powerstate.[6][7][8] These credit unions had their origins in the education and industrial sectors respectively. Both Credit Unions have roots in the South Australian community, with Satisfac dating to the 1950s.[9][10][11]

In March 2012, Grant Strawbridge was appointed CEO of Credit Union SA.[12]

Credit Union Christmas Pageant[edit]

Credit Union SA, along with several other South Australian credit unions, was a naming rights sponsor of the Adelaide Christmas Pageant.[13][14][15]
