San Luis Valley Federal was chartered in 1899 establishing the bank as the oldest banking company headquartered in the San Luis Valley. The bank has long been known as the leading provider of financial services required by families, individuals, and the business communities of the San Luis Valley.
San Luis Valley Federal is a mutual company that operates under a federal thrift charter. The bank’s depositors are members of and essentially the owners of the bank. We believe the mutual form of organization gives the bank the opportunity to efficiently provide the latest in banking services, offer benefits to members and assist with worthwhile projects in the community.
We are committed to delivering extraordinary service to our members, whether it is in person, by telephone, by mail or through the web. We are always interested in the comments and concerns of our members and hope they will always feel good about recommending the bank to family and friends.
