UCU is here to help members impacted by COVID-19. If you are having challenges with your loans due to COVID-related issues, please contact UCU Account Resolutions at 800.UCU.4510 x2815 or 424.210.9392.

During the pandemic, UCU has remained committed to keeping our members and team safe. We have made these adjustments while still providing the highest levels of service. We have implemented the following safety measures for our main branch.

In order to comply with government guidelines:

• Social distancing, by remaining 6 feet apart will be required
• Face coverings will be required to enter the branch
• Anyone entering the branch will be scanned by a contact-free temperature check device
• Members experiencing a fever or cough will not be permitted to enter the branch

The Main Branch hours are as follows:

• Monday – Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
• Saturday, 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

The UCLA Branch hours are as follows:

• Monday – Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
• Please note that this branch is only open to current UCLA employees and students

The Studio City Branch remains closed until further notice.

The contact center and video banking hours remain unchanged and are as follows:

• Monday – Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
• Saturday, 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

Our ATM network also remains unchanged and is fully available at this time.

Please be advised that due to reductions in staff, accessibility to locations and reduction to branch hours, many participants in the Shared Branch network are currently suspending non-member access and transactions. In addition, UCU has suspended its Shared Branching services at our Main Branch location at this time.

While we recognize limiting branch access may cause an inconvenience, we want to remind you that you have access to both mobile and online banking to make transactions, deposit checks, and more. UCU Live!, our video banking service is also available in the mobile app.

Please utilize these channels as much as possible to help alleviate branch and contact center traffic as well as for best practices in personal care as noted by medical experts and elected officials.

Rest assured, we are a financially sound credit union that has served our members for nearly 70 years. We look forward to serving our members during this challenging time and into the future. Just as a reminder that your deposits will continue to be insured by the National Credit Union Association (NCUA).

In this environment it is key to remain vigilant against fraud. It is important to know that UCU will never ask you to verify your account or identity using confidential information such as full social security number, passwords, or PIN numbers.
