South Carolina Federal Credit Union has become one of those rare constants in the Lowcountry: steady, trusted and consistently voted among the very best. In fact, few financial institutions in the region come close to their long-running streak of Best Of recognition, something the team never takes for granted.
They are grateful to be nominated once again. SCFCU built their reputation the slow, intentional way including prioritizing financial safety, keeping service standards sky-high and creating a workplace where employees feel valued. Take care of your people and they’ll take care of your members is their philosophy, and it has served them well.
What really sets SCFCU apart is the depth of their relationships. The longevity of the relationships with their members is unmatched. Some have been with the credit union for upwards of 30 years. That kind of loyalty doesn’t happen unless people feel seen and are treated with respect. Trust is grown through their commitment to the community. Each year, they donate hundreds of thousands of dollars to local nonprofits while their employees spend thousands of hours volunteering, leading and showing up where help is needed.
The industry is shifting fast and they’ve kept pace. They are constantly expanding digital tools, strengthening security and making sure members can bank however they prefer.
In 2026, they’ll celebrate 90 years – a near century-long journey that started with 14 Charleston Naval Shipyard workers and has grown into a $2.5 billion institution with 150,000 members and 31 locations. A long history, built with steady hands and real human connection.
