We believe that when our members flourish, our communities thrive. We believe in doing good in the communities we serve, and that small changes lead to big growth. Our roots are in Northern California, and our team members live in the communities where we work. We’re not a faceless national chain, we’re your local financial partner. We’re committed as an organization and a team of passionately dedicated employees to give back to the towns and cities we call home.
