SAFE 1 CREDIT UNION is a banking company based out of 1400 Mill Rock Way, Bakersfield, California, United States. In 1952, a small group of dedicated and concerned state employees from Union #35 met for the purpose of forming a financial cooperative for co-workers and their families. From these very humble beginnings, Safe 1 Credit Union was founded and formed. The first Safe 1 "office" was actually a room located in the home of our first manager. This lone employee conducted all the operations, with transaction receipts kept in a bedroom closet. By the end of our first month, Safe 1 had seven individuals banking with us and just over $300 in assets. Simply stated, a lot has changed over the last 70 years. However, our commitment to serving the citizens of Kern, Kings, Tulare and Fresno Counties remains the same. That's why more than 75,000 individuals representing more than $850 million in assets choose to bank with us. "Making better todays and greater tomorrows" remains the same mission for us today as it did nearly 70 years ago. From savings and checking accounts to consumer loans, home loans, credit cards, as well as the latest in digital banking, Safe 1 is here to serve you.
