History

Credit Union SA was formed on 1 October 2009 by a merger between former South Australian credit unions Satisfac and Powerstate.[7][8][9] These credit unions had their origins in the education and industrial sectors respectively. Both Credit Unions have roots in the South Australian community, with Satisfac dating to the 1950s.[10][11][12]

In March 2012, Grant Strawbridge was appointed CEO of Credit Union SA.[13]

Credit Union SA, along with several other South Australian credit unions, is a naming rights sponsor of the Adelaide Christmas Pageant.[14][15][16] The Credit Union Christmas Pageant is said to be the largest event of its kind in the world.[17]
