Membership Benefits

A Patelco membership gives you more of what matters most. Discover the Patelco difference below.


Discover how Patelco gives you more

When you join Patelco, you’ll instantly feel the difference between becoming a member versus being a customer. That’s because we’re a not-for-profit credit union and you’ll be a member-owner. Unlike big banks or community banks, we don’t answer to stockholders and our members are our shareholders. We offer banking that you can trust with more savings, better rates, and lower fees.
 
Our mission is to support your financial health and wellbeing, and to be there for the moments that matter most to you. As your trusted financial partner, we’re solely focused on helping our members build and sustain their best financial lives. We embrace these values in our services, products, and every interaction with our members.

I absolutely love Patelco Credit Union! They are some of the most knowledgeable, helpful, and kind people I’ve met at a bank. I feel very comfortable talking about my finances with them. If you decide to go to a credit union, this should be your choice!” – Dylan S, Patelco member
