Southshore Credit Union was chartered in 1949 and currently serves people who live or work in Milwaukee County, and their families. The credit union is a member-owned financial co-operative managed by a volunteer Board of Directors. Our purpose is to help our members reach their financial goals and borrow and save wisely, while providing old-fashioned personal service. At Southshore Credit Union, you are treated like an owner, not a number - That's the Credit Union Difference.
