That address, 1400 Adam Road, Unit A-1, is also the address of Service Center for Credit Unions Inc., which provided a variety of operational services for these credit unions and others. On its website, SCCU listed 23 credit unions it serves. However, 13 of those credit unions, including the six that were shuttered Tuesday, no longer exist.
