History
In 1959 a group of Stanford University employees pooled their resources to create a financial institution that would be better than a bank, and dedicated to serving Stanford. Our membership grew to include the entire Stanford community--faculty, staff, students, volunteers, alumni, and more. Today we still strive to be better than a bank by putting our members' needs first, and aspiring to be a trusted financial partner. We work with cutting edge technology companies like Google, Facebook-Meta, Amazon and Oracle to service the financial needs of their talented employees who expect the best products, service and experience. Nestled in the heart of Silicon Valley, we were the first financial institution to offer online banking. Innovation and member convenience continue to be a top priority, as we draw on Stanford University's innovation and our high-tech community.
