Unlike the big banks or other for-profit financial institutions, we invest our profits back in our members with better rates and low- to no fees.
We also offer free financial advice to anyone who wants to improve their financial situation. Members have told us that they feel seen, heard, informed, and supported to make more confident financial choices.

When you join Patelco, you become a member and a shareholder. The $1 we deposit into your shares savings account is your “share” in Patelco. As a member-owner – your voice is heard. With other for-profit banks or fintech, you are a customer who buys something, or a client who receives a professional service in return for a payment.
RoundUp is an automatic savings tool that helps you save with every purchase. Every time you use the debit card linked to your checking account, we’ll round up to the nearest dollar and transfer the difference from your checking to your savings account of your choice. So, if you spend $5.75 at the coffee shop, we’ll round up the purchase to $6.00, and transfer $0.25 to your savings. Every cent counts toward growing your savings!
To enroll, log in to Patelco Online™ or the Mobile App, and navigate to the main menu, then select Accounts, then RoundUp. For Plus Checking accounts, please contact us to enroll.
