Rachel Zillner has a passion for helping businesses and people understand finance and how they can utilize their credit union to help achieve their dreams.

As assistant vice president of Community Banking for SAFE Credit Union, Zillner is responsible for the community arm of the credit union.

“It plays to all my favorite things,” Zillner said. “I love building relationships and making memories. Then there's the community give back -- we do a ton of volunteerism, in partnership with the different community programs we work with, and also the affiliates we work with. For me, it's the coolest job on the planet. It was made for me.”

Zillner was a founding member of SAFE’s Community Banking department in 2010.

She completed her Bachelor’s degree from Sac State in May 2009. She said she choose Sac State because it was both local and familiar.

Zillner was recently awarded a 40-Under-40 award from the Sacramento Business Journal.
