BEST CREDIT UNION Patelco Credit Union Who Is Paltelco Credit Union? Back in 1936, with only $500 assets, a few employees at Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company (now AT&T) had a dream to create a credit union. A fixture in the Bay Area since then, Patelco Credit Union is now a full-service, not-for-profit financial cooperative dedicated to helping their members and communities prosper. With $8 billion in assets and over 400,000 members nationwide, they are one of the largest credit unions in the nation. Although they've grown exponentially, their purpose remains with their members: Fueling hope and creating op- portunities to build financial resiliency and empower them to achieve financial freedom. In keeping with their mission, their corporate giving and outreach philosophy focuses on everyday basic needs like hunger, housing and children's health. They believe that support- ing these everyday needs that help people manage their day-to-day financial lives more comfortably, helps put them on a path towards financial well-being. In addition to corporate support, Patelco employees regularly volunteer and contribute to local organizations that fit our outreach philosophy. They're proud to serve communities across Northern California, including the Bay Area, Sacramento and San Jose, as well as their employees (over 1,100 large) and small busi- nesses throughout the United States.
