About Us

Sunward serves communities across New Mexico and in Livermore, CA and Durango, CO.

In 1948, 15 employees of Sandia National Laboratories saw the need for a credit union in Albuquerque. Since then, Sunward has been dedicated to offering high value and outstanding personal service. Today, we not only serve SNL employees and their family members, but also the employees and families of more than 1,400 partner companies and others. Learn who can join.

Sunward is one of New Mexico’s largest credit unions, serving over 165,000 members and managing more than $4.2 billion in assets with a footprint that spans 16 branches across the Southwest, including California’s Bay Area and Durango, Colorado.

As a not-for-profit, member-owned financial cooperative that exists solely to serve its members, Sunward offers competitive rates on certificates, credit cards, home loans and auto loans, and savings and checking accounts. We don’t focus on making profits and paying stockholders. Instead, we use earnings to lower loan rates, raise savings rates, and reduce fees. Sunward offers the mortgages, consumer loans, and secure deposit accounts you need for financial success.

Credit unions all share the same philosophy: people helping people. We pride ourselves on serving members, not only as a financial institution, but also through financial education, community, and charitable causes.
