History

edit

SECU Maryland began its operation in 1951 with then-Governor Theodore McKeldin as its first member.[9] In the spring of 1953, it opened its first office. From 1959 to 1975, its operational head office moved within Baltimore multiple times. Finally, by 1979–80, SECU Maryland moved its headquarters to Towson. During the same period, it crossed the 50,000th membership enrollment mark. Currently, the new headquarters are located in Linthicum, Maryland.[3]

As of June 2020, SECU Maryland has over $4 billion in assets and over 250,000 members.[10][11] Its ATM distribution network spans over 55 branches and 54 remote locations across the state of Maryland. Member deposits are insured by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA).[12]

Community support programs

edit

In 2007, SECU Maryland created a foundation to support the educational goals of its members by providing scholarships.[13] The scholarships are available to any SECU MD member who is pursuing higher education and meets the qualifications. Annual scholarships are generally awarded to 26 recipients enrolling for two or four years of college or university programs; including trade and technical schools.[14][15]

In 2020, to overcome the on-going COVID-19 pandemic in Maryland, SECU Maryland Foundation created multiple grants and aid programs for local businesses and nonprofits as a part of  COVID-19 community relief efforts.[16][17][18][19]

Other programs

edit

On June 19, 2013, SECU Maryland Foundation-sponsored SECU Arena, a 5,200-seat multi-purpose sports complex, was inaugurated on the Towson University campus.[20] It eventually replaced Towson Center. It hosts the men's and women's basketball teams, as well as the respective volleyball and gymnastics teams.

On September 16, 2022, the University of Maryland announced that Maryland Stadium would be renamed SECU Stadium as part of a 10-year deal between the credit union and the university.[21] The deal is worth $11 million and includes $2.5 million for athletic facility improvements.

Compensation

edit

Net profit for 2022 was more than $42 million, while total executive compensation surpassed $10 million. President & CEO Dave Sweiderk was compensated more than $1.4 million, while 6 other executives and highest-paid employees had total compensation packages in excess of $500,000 each. Salaries and wages for all other employees of the credit union totalled $23.9 million.[22]
