SunWest was founded on the belief that financial institutions should exist to serve. Our original founders knew then what a lot of bankers still don’t understand. Financial institutions should help people, not take advantage of them. That’s why 12 telephone workers came together in 1937 to create a financial cooperative with one goal in mind – to help people thrive financially so they can excel personally.
