History

Security Service Federal Credit Union was initially established as the United States Air Force Security Service Federal Credit Union, opening its doors at Kelly Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas with just eight members and $25 in deposits. It was founded as a not-for-profit, member-owned financial cooperative to serve the fiscal needs of the members and families of the U.S. Air Force Security Service Command. In 1965, after only four years in operation, it reached its first significant milestone with $1 million in assets, and moved to its first permanent building on Security Hill at Kelly Air Force Base. In 1968, the board of directors voted to shorten the name to Security Service Federal Credit Union. By 1969, it ended the year with more than $18 million in assets and more than 29,000 members. In 1970, it surpassed more than $100 million in loans. In 1973, it moved into its first off-base location at U.S. Highway 90 in San Antonio, Texas. In 1977, it broke ground on its first corporate headquarters, a five-story building connected to its off-base location. In 1980, it opened its first corporate headquarters.
