Growing with the communities we serve.

Our story began with seven members in 1936, but First U.S. has always been about something bigger than numbers. It is about people helping people and building relationships that make a difference in members’ financial lives and the communities we share.

Recognized by the community we serve.

We’re honored to be voted GOLD – Credit Union in this year’s Sacramento Favorites by The Sacramento Bee. It’s a reflection of the trust our members place in us every day—and a reminder of why we continue to put people first.
