Credit unions are member-owned, not-for-profit financial institutions created to benefit the communities they serve. Unlike many traditional banks, credit unions make it a priority to give back to their members, and often their communities, as part of their mission. As a result, banking with a credit union means that you’re helping make a difference in your community.
Mission Federal Credit Union began in 1961 to serve the educational community, and even though our membership opened to serve all San Diegans in 2003, we’ve maintained our commitment to support education, as well as our members. Mission Fed consistently prioritizes people over profit, offering Bottom Line Rates, lower fees and award-winning customer service every day. Because we reinvest our profits back into our products and community, Mission Fed members and San Diego County benefit from being a part of our credit union.
We give back to the San Diego community in a variety of ways, including partnering with local nonprofits and sponsoring events like Mission Federal ArtWalk, because we believe in supporting the communities that we serve. We partner with a number of educational organizations and other nonprofits to offer financial education, community support and more. Our award-winning Mission 2 $AVE Credit Union at School Program has helped over 4,300 students at 44 local schools learn about the value of money management and saving. Additionally, our Mission for Our Schools and Mission for Nonprofits Programs each offer a $25 donation to the approved nonprofit or local school of your choice when you open a new Checking Account and mention the program. We then thank you for participating and helping Mission Fed make a difference with a $25 gift to you.
