In 1956, Security Service Federal Credit Union opened its doors with eight members and $25 in deposits. The credit union was founded as a not-for-profit, member-owned financial cooperative to serve the fiscal needs of the members of the U.S. Air Force Security Service Command and their families. Since those humble beginnings, the credit union has expanded to include not only military members but a large and diverse number of members from companies, organizations and geographic areas throughout the southwestern United States in its field of membership. Security Service is the eighth largest credit union in the country, serving more than 700,000 members worldwide. There are now more than 2,600 ways to qualify for membership. They're headquartered in San Antonio, the credit union has 37 locations in Texas, 19 in Colorado and 14 in Utah. The credit union’s newest market is Utah, with locations in Salt Lake City, Provo, Riverton, Sandy, South Jordan, St. George, Orem, Pleasant Grove, Springville, American Fork, and Payson.

- Credit cards
Credit Cards
There isn't much to go on that is really bad for Security Service Federal Credit Union. The only thing that might not be appealing is the lack of options for credit cards; they only offer three kinds with only a few reward options available. If you are looking for more money back per transaction or more points this might not be the best card choice for you. Also, the App for Apple devices doesn't have very good ratings, but the Android app does very well, and that is just being picky.The Bottom Line
