Sun Community Federal Credit Union was organized on March 9, 1954, as the Imperial Valley U.S. Employees Federal Credit Union with ten charter members. The first office was an unused detention cell in the basement of the Calexico Port of Entry. A few years later, we moved into the Post Office building in Calexico. Over the years, the field of membership was enlarged.

In January 1968, the name was changed to Government Agencies Federal Credit Union. The membership expansion created the need for a larger office, so we moved to 1407 Main Street in El Centro. In early 1977, the credit union was again growing out of its facilities. Two lots were purchased at 1441 State Street and the new building was completed in October 1979, and occupied until January 1992.

In August 1991, Imperial Community Federal Credit Union signed a merger. As a result, we purchased and remodeled the old Bank of America building in Imperial. The Imperial branch office opened in October 1991.

In 1992 the grand opening of the new El Centro branch took place and we moved into the new building at 1068 Broadway with more than double the square footage of the State street address. The new branch office features eight teller windows, three drive up windows, a walk up ATM and a drive up ATM, a centralized phone system, centralized lending and new hours.

In 1994 we experienced more growing pains at the Calexico branch on Fourth Street, a new branch office welcomed members at 1001 E. Highway 98. This beautiful new 5,000 square foot facility features six teller windows, a walk up and a drive up ATM.

In the summer of 1995 the Board of Directors revised the mission statement:

"To provide members diversified, convenient & personalized financial services at competitive rates while maintaining a sound financial condition. Setting tomorrow's Standards of excellence, today".

In July 2001, Borrego Springs Bank and GAFCU finalized GAFCU's purchase of the bank's properties in Calipatria and Salton City, California. It is believed to be the first transaction in the nation of this type between a bank and a credit union.

In September of 2002, we officially changed our name to Sun Community Federal Credit Union to better serve the people of the Imperial County.
