Our North Island History

Committed to our California members
since 1940

Since our founding in 1940, North Island Credit Union has provided top-notch service to our members with a suite of consumer, business and investment products and services built to support our members’ dreams and help them plan for the future.

North Island Credit Union was founded to provide banking resources to military and civil service personnel in California. In 2017, North Island Credit Union joined forces with California Credit Union to provide even greater opportunities to Californians throughout the state. A true partnership for the future, California Credit Union further established our roots in the local community and our proud ties to the military. 

We’ve since expanded our charter to serve all communities across Southern California, welcoming anyone who lives, works, worships, attends school or has a business in San Diego, Riverside, Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino and Ventura Counties, CA as well as school employees throughout the state.

We are proud to be certified as a Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI), a designation only given to organizations proven to provide financial services in communities that have historically lacked access to traditional banking services. We have great respect for the strong relationships we have established over the years — and with the support of our loyal members, we will continue to deliver peace of mind through stability, collaboration and service.

Our Mission

From the California community to educators to entrepreneurs and those who serve our country, North Island Credit Union puts our members first; through accessibility and convenience, we offer the service, security and stability they will always rely on, and the solutions and education they need to secure a stronger financial future.
