kern schools federal credit union

Kern Schools Federal Credit Union is a full-service financial institution founded in 1938 (we received our federal charter in 1940) by a small group of teachers who met for the purpose of organizing a financial cooperative for Kern County public school teachers. Our first Credit Union office was a tiny room in the library of Bakersfield High School, and our one-person staff was an unpaid volunteer. At the end of our first year of operations, Kern Schools consisted of 141 Members with $1,336.84 in assets. Simply stated, a lot has changed since our very humble beginnings, but the commitment to our Members has remained the same. Today, we are the largest Member-owned financial institution in Kern County with over 150,000 Members and over $1.5 billion in assets. Our staff of one unpaid volunteer has grown to over four hundred (400) team members, all with the purpose of providing the best Member service possible.
