Banking, the UFCU Way
What’s a Credit Union?
Unlike a bank, Members—not corporate stakeholders—own UFCU. That means our Members benefit from services focused on their financial success today and in the future. Best of all, the money we earn from banking activities goes right back into our community.
Personal Service
Our person-to-person relationship with each Member means students and parents have the opportunity to ask questions and receive personal financial services tailored to meet your needs. Financial consultations are by appointment and free of charge.
Financial Education
Our PlanU program helps our Members learn to navigate day-to-day finances and manage their money through financial workshops and a wealth of online resources. Our programs are always free of charge, and most are online to fit into your busy schedule.
