Sandia Area Federal Credit Union

Sandia Area is an institution of people dedicated to caring for our neighbors and our environment. We're committed to making positive, measurable, and sustainable change in the areas we serve through partnerships, volunteering, and donations. Taking care of the communities we serve is important to us-we want to give back and make it a better place to “be”.

As a permaculture credit union, we strive to adhere to the ethos of permaculture. Permaculture is a body of thought that attempts to build ecological dynamics into design. When pertaining to Sandia Area, this means working with our members to cultivate long-term relationships, rather than maximizing short-term options with profit in mind.
