Scient Federal Credit Union is a member-owned, federally insured, non-profit organization that has been serving the needs of life science professionals and their families for over 40 years. Established in Groton in 1968 as Pfizer Employees Credit Union, the credit union has expanded from coast to coast and now provides banking services to more than 12,000 members through 4,550 affiliate branches, 28,000 no-fee ATMs, and 24/7 mobile banking.

Sound Credit Union was founded in 1940 by 51 Pacific Telephone and Telegraph co-workers who banded together with the goal of giving themselves and their families’ easier access to loans and better protection for their savings than they could get from banks. They pooled $106.50 to start Tacoma Telco Credit Union and, since then, that original stake has grown to more than $1 billion. Today, Sound Credit Union has 23 full service branches in the Puget Sound area and nearly 100,000 member-owners. Our name has changed over the years, but our mission remains the same: to provide high-quality, high-value financial products and services to our member-owners. We never forget it’s your money. If you are someone who is passionate about helping people with real life needs, you’ve come to the right place. Sound Credit Union offers competitive wages, generous benefits, and a great workplace environment. We are looking for new team members who have the ability to interact with people in a caring manner, possess a can-do approach, look for ways to say “yes,” and would never voice the words “that’s not my job.” If you believe “customer service” is not a department, but rather an attitude, we invite you to apply.
