On June 29th, 1972, the first meeting of the South West Slopes Local Government Employees Credit Union Board of Directors took place. The Board represented seventy-eight foundation members, all employees of the Boorowa, Burrangong, Demondrille, Murrumburrah and Young Shire Councils and employees of the South West Slopes County Council in NSW. Just a year later “Local Government Employees” was dropped from the name and it has become entrenched in Young and the surrounding areas. The latest change came in April 2024 when it began trading as SWSbank.

Our SWSbank collection includes annual reports from 1991 onwards, newsletters, photographs and contemporary governance documents and reports published online.
