We hold ourselves to the credit union philosophy of not-for-profit banking. Expect total professionalism, full transparency, and the highest ethical standards, all delivered with an unpretentious style. Our staff’s consultative approach encourages members to sit down with us to chat about saving and managing their money. We even provide one-on-one help with online banking, mobile banking and ATMs. Your trust means everything to us and we work to earn it every day. We’ve been thriving in the San Francisco East Bay Area since 1932. That’s a lot of years – and we look forward to many more. Membership is open to anyone who lives, works, or attends school in Alameda, Contra Costa, San Joaquin, Solano, Stanislaus, or Kings counties in California. With eight 1st United Credit Union branches, you can conveniently find us in your neighborhood including Alameda, Berkeley, Castro Valley, Fremont, Hayward, Oakland, Pleasanton, and San Leandro.
