About Us

Since January 1960, County Schools Federal Credit Union (CSFCU) has been chartered by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) to provide financial services to the faculty, staff, students, and their immediate family members from all public and private schools in Ventura County. Unlike other financial institutions, credit unions are exclusively owned by their members. As an independent, non-profit financial institution, County Schools Federal Credit Union provides financial services to our members at the lowest possible cost. All earnings are returned to our members in the form of higher savings rates, lower loan rates, and increased quality service.

CSFCU is a growing credit union. As we've grown we have not forgotten our members. We still offer fast, friendly service; the kind of service you expect from your financial institution. We are small enough to know you by name, yet large enough to offer a full spectrum of financial services. One of the hardest decisions you may have to make here at CSFCU, is which one of our tellers will become your personal favorite!

Membership

County Schools FCU is open to all faculty, staff, and students, attending or working at any Ventura County school, along with their immediate family members.
