Mission Statement
Sea West Coast Guard FCU's mission is to optimize benefits to member-owners by building lasting relationships, offering secure, convenient, and competitive financial services through a staff of responsive ethical professionals.
About Us
Our Roots go back to 1959 when Commanding Officer Captain J. E.Richey founded what we know today as Sea West Coast Guard Federal Credit Union. Since then, we have grown steadily and added to the array of financial products and services we offer members.
Today, after a half century in the business, Sea West has over $320 million in assets. And with our anytime, anywhere banking services, we go where you go.
 SeaPoints: Other financial institutions may tell you they appreciate your business, but at Sea West your membership really counts. Our SeaPoints program rewards you for borrowing and banking with us and for your loyal membership over the years.
Use your SeaPoints to get a better loan rate or waive selected fees.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT
To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account.
What this means for you: When you open an account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your drivers' license or other identifying documents.
