A credit union is a nonprofit, cooperative financial institution owned and run by its members. Organized to serve, democratically controlled credit unions provide their members with a safe place to save and borrow at reasonable rates. Members pool their funds to make loans to one another. The volunteer board that runs each credit union is elected by the members. Not for profit, not for charity, but for service is a credit union motto.

About Us
North Orange County Credit Union was established in 1951 as the Fullerton City Employees Credit Union. During the late 1960's and early 1970's the employees of the cities of Brea, Placentia and La Habra were added to the field of membership. The name was subsequently changed to North Orange County City Employees Credit Union.

Beginning in the late 1980's, the field of membership was expanded further to include employees of certain approved private employers. These groups are known as Select Employee Groups.  Certain Costco locations, Bristol Industries, Fender Musical, Toyota of Orange, McCoy Mills Ford, Plasticolor, Stone Container and Taormina are just a few of the private employer groups in the field of membership.  

Because of the increased diversity of the field of membership, the name of the credit union was changed to North Orange County Credit Union.

In September 2002, we received approval to add a number of community groups to our field of membership.  Now people who live, work, attend school, or worship in the following cities are also eligible to become members:  Fullerton, Brea, Placentia, La Habra, Anaheim, Buena Park, Yorba Linda, Orange.   

Is My Money Safe?
The National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF) is the federal fund created by Congress in 1970 to insure member's deposits in credit unions up to the $100,000 federal limit. Administered by the National Credit Union Administration, the NCUSIF is backed by the "full faith and credit" of the U.S. Government.
