About Us
Our Roots go back to 1959 when
Commanding Officer Captain J. E.Richey founded what we know today as Sea
West Coast Guard Federal Credit Union. Since then, we have grown steadily
and added to the array of financial products and services we offer
members.
Today, after nearly half a century in the business, Sea West has $320
million in assets. And with our anytime, anywhere banking services, we go
where you go.
 SeaPoints: Other financial
institutions may tell you they appreciate your business, but at Sea West
your membership really counts. Our SeaPoints program rewards you for
borrowing and banking with us and for your loyal membership over the
years.
Use your SeaPoints to get a better loan rate or waive a fee. It’s
simple, easy and available only at Sea West.
