The legacy of credit unions and how we serve

When Travis Credit Union was formed in 1951 by a small group of volunteers from Travis Air Force Base, the credit union movement was not yet 20 years old. Yet, across the nation, millions of co-worker groups pooled their income in newly formed credit unions to save for the future and to make borrowing money easier and affordable. Because it was, and remains, a grassroots effort that really mattered to the nation, the federal government has always permitted not-for-profit status for financial cooperatives.

Financial cooperatives remain a vital solution for the times. They provide higher rates on deposits, lower rates on loans, lower fees on services, convenient access and friendly service, while working to ensure there will always be a not-for-profit alternative in the financial market place.

Our Board of Directors, Supervisory Committee, and senior management are careful stewards of the resources our members put in their care. They believe in the genuine, personal way credit unions do business that sets financial cooperatives, and Travis Credit Union in particular, apart from other financial institutions.

You’ve come to know our employees. They are friends and neighbors who see each other in church, at the mall, and at soccer games. Our employees are active in community events, youth programs, non-profit organizations, and in local schools. Financial cooperatives such as Travis Credit Union help shape communities by making a difference in the lives of individuals and their families because we are from these communities ourselves.

Thanks to our member-owners we are able to bring credit union membership to even more consumers.

We are committed to promoting financial literacy and contributing to the communities we serve by donating to causes that meet social needs. And we reach out to underserved populations to acquaint them with the credit union philosophy of people helping people.
