hi!
we’re going to be great friends.
about us
Service 1st began in Danville, Pennsylvania in 1975 when a group of employees from the Geisinger
Medical Center identified a need for credit union services and rallied the support and involvement of their
colleagues to form a credit union. At this early start, the credit union was called Geisinger Employees
Federal Credit Union. Run by a volunteer staff, these individuals spread the word of the credit union
movement among their peers and opened accounts at a table in the hospital cafeteria.
Over time, the credit union grew and offices were established in areas outside of Danville. The credit union
expanded its membership base by offering services to other employers throughout the Susquehanna
Valley. In the mid 90’s, the credit union changed its name to better reflect the business that had developed.
We became, Service 1st Federal Credit Union.
As Service1st continued to grow in Montour County, branch locations were opened in Luzerne, Union,
Snyder and Lycoming counties. These branch locations offer members access to Service 1st across
Central and Northeastern Pennsylvania. Service 1st now serves nearly 20,000 members and partners with
over 1,000 employer groups and organizations across the region to provide affordable financial services.
Our promise to our membership:
To offer a lifetime of financial services to meet your changing
needs: fostering a relationship of trust, dignity and respect.
