Our University Partnerships

We ARE University Credit Union. And like our name says, we serve universities. Not just one, many. In fact, universities have been our sole focus since 1951 when we were founded on the UCLA campus in Royce Hall. We’ve grown since then. Now, we are located on several campuses and serve multiple prestigious universities across Southern California.

Banking with your Brain at UCU comes with a lot of benefits. One is how easy it is to join. The list is long of who we serve, and if you are part of any college or university in Southern California or any school in the UC system, you can become a member. If you are attending or serving any higher education institution in Southern California, make the smart choice and join us today. 

Choosing a financial institution is an important decision. There are over 17,147,551 reasons University Credit Union membership is the smart choice. Our Top 1% Best Rates in the Nation Guarantee¹ is one. The opportunity to earn up to 5.00% APY² on your University Checking Account is another. You want a partner who understands the University Community exclusively and has the expertise to guide you wisely.

We are proud to show you all that UCU has to offer you as a financial institution. Join today and enjoy unparalleled value, uncompromising service and a university community to support you in all of your endeavors.
