Small towns and strong communities don't happen by accident.

They're built by business owners opening their doors every morning. Teachers investing in the next generation. Volunteers giving their time. Coaches mentoring young athletes. First responders answering the call when their neighbors need them most. And everyday people lending a hand without being asked.

Across Southern Arizona, we're fortunate to serve communities that still believe in showing up for one another.

That's something worth celebrating.

Community Spotlight

Preparing the next generation for success starts with education, encouragement, and real-world conversations.

Recently, ASCU's Yesenia Porras participated in Career Day at Anza Trail Middle School, sharing her experiences in the financial industry and emphasizing the importance of building healthy financial habits early.

From exploring career opportunities to learning about saving and financial responsibility, students could ask questions and gain insight into the many paths available to them.

We're grateful to Anza Trail Middle School for the invitation and proud of team members like Yesenia, who invest their time in educating and inspiring the next generation.

On , we take a moment to recognize every deployed member and the sacrifices they make. Deployment is challenging; access to your finances shouldn’t be.

Built for Douglas

For many years, American Southwest Credit Union proudly served the Douglas community from our original branch, building relationships with generations of members.

Then, in April 2021, we took another step in that journey.

Instead of simply occupying an existing space, we chose to build a brand-new branch at 1094 San Antonio Avenue, making a permanent investment in Douglas's future and the people who call it home.

This branch was built with purpose. It was our way of demonstrating our commitment to a community that has long been an important part of the ASCU family.

Douglas is a unique place. Its rich history, strong culture, and bicultural heritage make it one of Southern Arizona's most vibrant communities. We wanted our investment to reflect our pride in serving the area and our confidence in its future.

Today, our Douglas branch continues that legacy under the leadership of Maria Montano and her team, who proudly serve members with the same community-first spirit that has guided us from the beginning.

Buildings may change over time, but our commitment to Douglas remains the same.

Good food, great teammates, and hometown pride!

American Southwest Credit Union was proud to partner with Tony H Pham and Melty’s, a member of our credit union family, to feed the Buena C**t Athletics football team with Melty’s catering!
Supporting the C**ts means a lot to us—and with one of our employees’ kids on the team, we have an extra reason to cheer!

A special shout-out to Monique and Coach Determan for having us. We’re grateful for the chance to support these players and the community that cheers them on.

Go get ’em tonight! Go C**ts!

Benson Asked. We Listened.

Our story in Benson began at 654 E. 7th Street, where we established our first branch and built lasting relationships with members, local businesses, and the community. Many longtime residents may even remember when Doug Quarles and our team painted the mural that still graces the side of the building.

Over the years, members gave us the same feedback: a more convenient location, a drive-thru, and easier access to Benson's commercial center.

One of the people listening was Branch Manager Arcelia Kearney.

As Arcelia spoke with members and learned what they wanted from their credit union, she kept looking for ways to better serve the community. When the former Medicine Shoppe property on Benson's 4th Street became available, it immediately stood out as a potential future home for ASCU. While a deal wasn't possible at the time, the opportunity returned a few years later, and this time everything came together.

After extensive renovations, American Southwest Credit Union opened its new branch at 795 W. 4th Street in March 2026, giving members a larger facility, a more visible location, and the drive-thru convenience they had been requesting for years.

The move wasn't just about a new building.

It was about honoring our commitment to Benson and proving that we listen when our members speak.

Today, we're proud to serve the community from our 4th Street location, and we're grateful for the relationships that made this chapter possible.
