Since our founding in 1937, SouthWest Community has proudly provided legendary service, delivered innovative financial solutions for your growing needs and worked hard to build valued relationships. Thanks to your loyalty, the strength of our employees and collaborative efforts of our volunteers, we have enjoyed tremendous prosperity throughout the decades.

To ensure this tradition persists, effective July 1, 2010, SouthWest Community became part of the Chartway Federal Credit Union family. So what does this change mean for you? It means continued stability with greater access to additional products and services.

Chartway is a premier credit union with now 60 branches in 10 states. Our merger with Chartway will extend our lending programs and enhance our online banking services. It will provide us with greater opportunities to help you realize your financial goals with expanded products and enhanced service capabilities.

We are retaining the SouthWest name so you will not see or experience any changes except now, your deposits and loans accounts will be backed by the strength and security of Chartway. Rest assured, your accounts will be unaffected by the change, and you will continue to see the same friendly faces and continue to receive the same superior local service in the same locations. Simply stated, it is business as usual at your local credit union.

. . . As eventful as the last 73 years have been, we are confident the next 73 promise to be even more exciting. Thank you for trusting us - we greatly cherish your continued confidence and loyalty.
