Unlike a bank, we’re not-for-profit. So you profit.

As a local, not-for-profit cooperative, owned and operated by members like you, our profits go back to our community and our members, not Wall Street. Which we believe helps make credit unions safer than banks. Plus, lower fees and free access to ATMs all across the country means you save money. And service the way you want it – online, in-app, in-branch and virtual branch.

SF Fire Credit Union is not just for firefighters and it’s not just for SF.

If you live, work, worship, or go to school in San Mateo, Marin or San Francisco counties, you can become a member.

Trapped in a bad bank? We can get you out.

Beyond great Checking & Savings offers, we can serve all your personal and business financial needs.

*Rebates are automatically posted to your account within two business days. We automatically rebate international surcharge fees, but in cases where the fees do not get reimbursed due to processing differences on some out-of-country networks or ATMs, please retain a copy of your receipt so that we can process any rebate of a surcharge that fails to refund automatically. The receipt must be presented no later than 60 days after the transaction cycle ending date of the SF Fire Credit Union account statement on which the transaction appears. Please note that any exchange fees do not qualify as ATM surcharges, and a surcharge must be clearly identified on your receipt for us to process the refund if it doesn't automatically appear in your account.

APY= Annual Percentage Yield. The APY is the effective annual rate of return and assumes that the funds will remain in the deposit account for a full 365 days. Dividend rate for Term Certificates is fixed for the length of the term. 

Active and retired Fire Department employees qualify for a 0.10% rate bump on these term certificates. Premium is the same for SFFD and Non-SFFD alike.

Term Certificates have a required minimum deposit of $250. Fees or other conditions could reduce the earnings on the account. A penalty may be imposed for withdrawals before maturity.
