History

[edit]

Credit Union SA was formed on 1 October 2009 by a merger between former South Australian credit unions Satisfac and Powerstate.[6][7][8] These credit unions had their origins in the education and industrial sectors respectively. Both Credit Unions have roots in the South Australian community, with Satisfac dating to the 1950s.[9][10][11]

In March 2012, Grant Strawbridge was appointed CEO of Credit Union SA.[12]

Credit Union Christmas Pageant

[edit]

Credit Union SA, along with several other South Australian credit unions, was a naming rights sponsor of the Adelaide Christmas Pageant.[13][14][15]
