Sweetwater Federal Credit Union began, like so many other credit unions, with a group of federal and state employees pooling some of their savings. Seven men, employees of the Bureau of Reclamation, the Federal Social Security Office and the Wyoming State Employment Service signed the Charter and set out to find one hundred members. From those original 107 members and a few hundred dollars the Sweetwater Federal Credit Union has grown to over 3000 members with assets of approximately $20 million. Moreover, from an organization serving strictly government employees Sweetwater Federal Credit Union has become a Community Charter Credit Union open to anyone who lives, works or worships in Sweetwater County. Sweetwater Federal Credit Union continues to expand services and is now available on the worldwide web.
