We're guided by our long history. And strong values.
University Credit Union (UCU) is a purpose-driven financial cooperative dedicated to giving everyone in the University Community a financial advantage. UCU traces its roots back to 1951, when the credit union was founded on UCLA’s campus in Royce Hall by University employees. Our story has spread exponentially to Loyola Marymount University, Mount Saint Mary’s University, Pepperdine University, Saint Mary's College, Santa Clara University, the University of California, Irvine, the University of California, Davis, the University of California San Diego, Chabot College and Las Positas College, Georgia Tech, University of Texas at Arlington, The Big West, Western Athletic Conference, and Southland Conference. UCU’s focus over the last few years has been on diversifying and building a foundation for future growth. By partnering with the University Community and maximizing our value proposition for member-owners like you, we will continue to thrive well beyond the near future.
Whether you are in the market to buy a car, open a credit card, consolidate your debt, or buy a new home, we save you time and money with our low rates. Our team offers unbiased advice and works in your best interest; which has helped us recapture loans from other financial institutions giving you significant savings. By educating you to make sensible financial choices, you'll have the confidence to create wealth for your future.
