The SFCU provides products for Penn students that make it truly the optimal choice for banking, whether you’re looking to borrow, save, build, or simply bank.

With programs like the Credit Builder, we offer you the opportunity to build your credit score, simply by making a one-time loan and letting us make scheduled payments for you to craft a strong credit history.

But that’s not all - the SFCU offers a wide range of loans including personal, auto, and student loans. We even offer open applications for international students without an established credit history in the US with more leniency than traditional banks. All SFCU loans come with low-interest rates and fees.

For your most essential banking needs, the SFCU has checking and savings accounts of different accords, but each with features that make banking for Penn students easier. With access to online banking services, ATM locations across campus and around the country, and an overdraft protection safety net with our Quaker Checking accounts, the SFCU has your best interest in making banking as easy as possible!

If you’re a fan of ice cream, hot pot, and karaoke, look no further! With an SFCU debit card, you can receive discounts from Ben and Jerry’s, Le Tao, Sky Club, HipCityVeg, and countless other places across Penn.

Join and become an SFCU member today to start receiving the optimal products and opportunities for your best banking experience!
