University Credit Union – which first opened its doors in 1951 on the University of California, Los Angeles campus – is expanding its support of UC system students, alumni, staff and retirees through a new partnership with UC San Diego, one of the university system's 10 locations in the Northern and Southern regions of the state.
The $1 billion UCU's partnership with UC San Diego, announced on Thursday and set to last for five years, will include the addition of six on-campus ATMs and the opening of a UCU advisory center within the university's Price Center facility. The new advisory center, slated to open this fall, will serve as a "full-service banking hub" staffed by UCU financial professionals and include access to member services and ATMs, according to UC San Diego's website. UCU plans to support the financial wellness of those affiliated with UC San Diego by providing one-on-one consultations, in addition to financial education seminars and workshops.
