THE CREDIT UNION JUST FOR YOU
There's a credit union for everyone. But we're just for you.
You have to be a school or university employee (or related to one) to join. That means professors. Administrative assistants. Software developers. Athletic directors. Network administrators. Maintenance technicians. Teaching assistants. Coaches. Financial aid advisors.
We're exclusive.
And we wouldn't want it any other way. While banks and other credit unions offer the same financial solutions, we have ones just for you. A 1.5% cash back School Employee credit card1 into a 6.50% APY savings account2 to set aside money for the summer. An auto loan with summers off from payments.3 No-interest loans to help you pay for supplies and equipment. Financial advice to help you plan for a secure future. Even a mortgage that's made just for you.4
Meet our Member, Kristine.
"I've always been so happy as a Member of SchoolsFirst FCU. All of my accounts are with you, and you always have great rates – especially on car loans. I also love my Summer Saver, which is so great for so many teachers who only get a paycheck 10 months out of the year. This, and everything else you do, shows you look at things that are important to educators, and you really have your pulse on our needs. More than anything, you just make us feel important — that we're not just another number. Thank you for that, and thank you for all you've done for me during my 19 years of Membership."
The biggest and the best — because our Members made us that way.
We're the largest credit union in California, and the largest in the nation exclusively for the educational community. That may not seem important, but it means we'll always be there for you, even when times are tough. Despite our size, our Members say we still feel like the same Credit Union they've known and loved for years. For the fifth year in a row, we've been voted the best credit union in California by Forbes. And we're continually recognized as one of the best credit unions in numerous regional publication reader surveys. We attribute our success to one thing: continually providing our Members with World-Class Personal Service to help them improve their financial well-being.
You should love where you bank. We think you're going to love it here.
If you're a member of another credit union, we welcome you to join us too! Get the best of both worlds and enjoy more options when you need to save or borrow money for something important. We've been helping our Members save for and fund life's biggest moments for nearly 90 years.
There's only one SchoolsFirst FCU. And we're all yours.
It's easy for you to join — you can do it yourself online or visit one of our many branches. Then you can say you're a Member of the best Credit Union.
