Summit: a story of service

1948

Seven teachers and a shoebox

Summit began when seven schoolteachers pooled $35 into a shared fund so their colleagues could borrow without turning to predatory lenders. That founding idea — neighbors lending to neighbors — still sets every rate we publish today.

1967

A lobby of our own

Nineteen years of kitchen-table meetings gave way to a real branch on Third Street. Members could finally walk in, shake a hand, and leave the same afternoon with an account and a passbook.

Open to the whole family

The charter widened so spouses, children, and grandchildren could join. Membership stopped being something you simply had and became something you handed down.

Serving those who serve

We opened membership to service members, veterans, and their families, then rebuilt our lending around the way they actually live — deployment timelines, PCS moves, and pay that arrives on a military schedule.

Digital, without losing the desk

Mobile deposit, instant card freeze, and same-day funding arrived — all of it still backed by local underwriters who pick up the phone and make the call themselves.

Open to all

Membership opened to anyone willing to put $5 into a share account. The cooperative that started with seven people became one that almost anybody could own a piece of.

Leading with purpose

Member-owned, federally insured, and still not-for-profit. Every dollar we do not owe a shareholder goes back where it started — into better rates, lower fees, and the neighborhoods our members live in.

Why Summit

Member-owned, not shareholder-owned

Summit is one of the nation's leading federal credit unions. We answer to our members rather than to investors, which means earnings come back to you as higher deposit yields, lower loan rates, and fewer fees.

NCUA insured up to $250,000 per account
Open membership — anyone can join with a $5 share deposit
Award-winning service and fast, local loan decisions
85,000+ surcharge-free ATMs through the CO-OP network
Become a Member

Federally insured

Every deposit is backed by the NCUA, the same protection standard as FDIC coverage at a bank.

Owned by members

No shareholders taking a cut. Profits return to members through better pricing across every product.

Competitive rates

Consistently among the strongest yields on savings and the lowest APRs on auto and home lending.

Real human service

Talk to a person in under two minutes, seven days a week, at a branch or on the phone.

Showing up for our communities

Summit supports the people and places around us through service, partnership, and programs that help neighborhoods thrive.

Membership takes about five minutes

Open a share account with a $5 deposit and you are an owner — with access to every rate, product, and branch we offer.
