You could be a member too, no joke. And why wouldn't you?

If you are looking for a financial institution with better rates, lower fees, and a more personal connection…then a credit union is the way to go. Credit unions are non-profit institutions which means that they put their profits directly back into their members by offering lower fees, better rates, more locations etc. Credit Unions are also locally based and provide personalized customer service to their community. Who wouldn’t want to be a member of a financial institution that puts their members needs above making a profit?

At UICCU, we are service-oriented and passionate. We are innovative and determined. We Do More Good every single day.

Experience the difference!
