Remember when a business deal was sealed with a handshake? We sure do. That`s how we made loans in 1950, when Ventura County Credit Union was granted a charter.

Back then, the philosophy was simple: people helping people. It`s a philosophy that is still embraced today and has helped VCCU grow to more than $800 million in assets and more than 80,000 ...

Credit unions, unlike banks, are not-for-profit financial cooperatives. Their purpose is to provide the best possible service to their members, including members of modest means. Instead of creating profit for a small group of stockholders, credit union earnings are returned to members in the form of consistently lower loan rates, higher interest on deposits, lower fees and more state-of-the-art services like online bill payment and mobile banking.
