Self-Help Credit Union (SHCU) is a North Carolina chartered, federally insured, member-owned institution. In 1984 SHCU was created as an affiliate of Self-Help, a community development lender, making home loans and commercial loans, developing affordable housing and commercial real estate and creating ownership and economic opportunity for communities left out of the economic mainstream.

When you open a deposit account with SHCU, you get more than a competitive rate of return and a safe place to invest your money. You support our mission to help hardworking low-wealth individuals, families and communities grow stronger.

We offer the following deposit accounts:

• Checking
  
• Money Market
  
• Term certificates (CDs) (Including specialty CDs: Green, Women & Children, and Economic Development)
  

• Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs)
  
• Savings
