History of the Sweet Home Federal Credit Union
The Sweet Home Federal Credit Union was founded in 1957 by a group of Sweet Home employees seeking a financial institution that would offer favorable interest rates on savings and loans. The credit union has grown to serve twelve different employee groups. We currently serve over 3,000 members with assets exceeding $16.7 million. The credit union originally consisted of just a general ledger book and metal strongbox but today we occupy two condominiums in the West Amherst Office Park on North French Road in Amherst.
