From everyday spending to taking out loans, where you bank is a big deal - Los Angeles, California, United States

From everyday spending to taking out loans, where you bank is a big deal.

It can cost — or save — you thousands of dollars. That's why we want you to bank with your brain. When you choose your new checking account or any one of our loans, chances are you'll end up saving with our Best Rates in the Nation Guarantee.*  Plus, you could earn up to 5.00% APY1 on your cooperatively powered University Checking Account for the banking you already do!

 

When you join UCU, you're not just joining a high-performing, not-for-profit financial cooperative, you are joining our University Community.
