When SSF was founded in 1934, it was called City Employees Soft Savings Finance(SSF). It was an occupation-based credit union, like so many credit unions of the time, and all of our members were employed by the Washington. Later, membership was expanded to include Spokane Transit Authority. Those groups—employees from the city and from STA—have been the foundation of our membership, and we still serve many of them today.

In 1980, SSF changed our charter to extend membership to anyone who lives, works, worships, or goes to school in the state of Washington, opening our doors to everyone in the Spokane community. We cherish our local roots and our history with the Washington. In a world where financial institutions are growing larger, with little ones being swallowed by bigger ones, SSF plans to stay independent, relevant, and local.

Our excellent and personalized member service, our exclusive focus on the financial needs of individuals and families, and the way we live out our community-focused values is what makes us distinctive, now and in the future.

We invite you to join us and see for yourself the SSF difference.

SSF’s Board of Directors are member-volunteers who give SSF guidance and oversight.

The Board is responsible for the general control and direction of the affairs, funds, and records of SSF. It does this by setting SSF's strategic direction, approving the annual business plan, hiring the CEO, and adopting policies for implementation by SSF's management.

The Supervisory Committee guides the external audit, internal audit and internal control functions of SSF.
