Educational Employees Credit Union has been part of the Central Valley for 76 years. We take pride in our community and consider ourselves fortunate to live, work and play in such a beautiful part of California and our nation. From our bountiful farmland, to our abundant sunshine, to our cultural diversity, to our friendly residents – there are so many reasons to love the Valley!

We love our members, too! In 2009, we introduced the We Take You Personally campaign. When you become a member of EECU you’re more than just a number – you become part of our family. Our goal is to provide you with financial options that fit you perfectly, and to provide you with personal, unrivaled service.

Since we opened our doors in 1934, EECU has become one of the most respected credit unions in the United States. As of December 31, 2009, EECU is the 60th largest credit union in the U.S., the 12th largest in California, and the largest locally-based in the Central San Joaquin Valley; in 2009 our membership grew to over 178,000, and assets grew to over $1.8 billion. Your satisfaction is important to us, and we are proud to report that last year’s annual member survey showed that 98.2 percent of our members were “satisfied” or “very satisfied” with the quality of service that we provide.

While serving our members is a primary concern, EECU also recognizes the importance of giving something back to the communities we serve. In 2009 we sponsored a number of events, including the Civil War reenactment, UC Merced graduation commencement, Break the Barriers fundraiser, March of Dimes Walk, Extreme Home Makeover Fresno home project, and Children’s Hospital Central California Kids Day. Our employees gave their time and money to support the American Cancer Society, St. Jude Dream Home, Boy Scouts of America, Children’s Miracle Network, and the Community Food Bank, to name a few. In addition, the credit union provides significant funding to support programs and organizations that enrich the overall quality of life far beyond the limits of our membership throughout the Central Valley.

We make financial literacy a top priority, and our financial education program continues to grow. Since January 2009, we have provided over 300 workshops to nearly 14,000 students from kindergarten through college, as well as faculty, parents, non-profits, and other business organizations. We make financial literacy a top priority, especially for our younger members. Our efforts will have far-reaching benefits as our students mature into productive and financially secure adults.

Your credit union Board members, management, and staff take great pride in the success of your credit union. While we continue to develop new products and services to meet the financial needs of our membership as a whole, we also promise to meet our members’ individual needs. At EECU, we really do take our members personally.
