Our History
Service 1 Federal Credit Union was chartered August 7, 1940 by employees of Continental Motors. The first office was located in the basement of the Time Office at Continental Motors in Muskegon, Michigan. The original founders wanted a safe and friendly environment where they could save their money; the two services offered were savings and loans. In 1950 the credit union moved into an office on West Western Avenue in Muskegon, where it continued to grow.
Over the years, to better reflect our mission and expanding membership, our name was changed to Service 1 Federal Credit Union. We have evolved into a full-service institution that responds to member feedback, offering numerous progressive services.
Our main office is located on the shores of Lake Michigan in beautiful Muskegon, Michigan at 1075 E. Sherman Boulevard. We serve our members online 24/7 and from six branch locations: three in Muskegon, MI; Mobile, Alabama; Neosho, Missouri; and Shell Knob, Missouri.
Service 1 Federal Credit Union has over 21,000 members and nearly 500 companies in its field of membership.
