[edit] History
SafeAmerica was founded in 1953 to serve the financial needs of local Safeway Inc. employees. The credit union added Select Employee Groups (SEGs) over time and in December 2002, they became a community chartered credit union serving four counties.
[edit] Membership
Individuals living, working, worshiping, or attending school in the following California counties can join SafeAmerica Credit Union: Alameda County, California, Contra Costa County, California, San Mateo County, California, or Santa Clara County, California. Employees of SafeAmerica's Select Employer Groups (SEGs), and all immediate family members of current members are also invited to join.[3]
