University Credit Union: Serving Our Community Since 1947
A Tradition of Trust and Service
Established in 1947 as the University of Miami Credit Union, we have proudly served the University of Miami faculty, staff, students, and alumni. Over the decades, our reputation for meeting the banking needs of the University Community with essential financial services has only grown stronger.
Expanding Our Horizons
In 1982, Florida International University became a sponsor, allowing us to offer expanded employee benefits to their community. This pivotal moment led to our rebranding as University Credit Union. By 1988, St. Thomas University joined our family, extending these benefits further. In 2005, the Lawyers Credit Union, serving legal communities across Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, and Monroe Counties, merged with us, broadening our services for membership to all member attorneys of The Florida Bar Association and their employees. Today, our services are open to all.
A Not-for-Profit, Member-Owned Cooperative
University Credit Union operates as a member-owned, not-for-profit cooperative financial institution. Governed by a member elected volunteer Board of Directors, credit unions stand as the only democratically controlled financial institutions in the United States. Our guiding philosophies, "Not for Profit, Not for Charity, But for Service" and "People Helping People," underscore our commitment to providing the best possible banking services at low costs, with favorable rates and financial assistance.
Tailored Solutions for Businesses
We are dedicated to serving our working-class members and business owners. By offering tailored banking products, we help businesses enhance their employee benefits packages with our credit union services.

The Credit Union Difference
How is a credit union different than a bank? Credit unions are not-for-profit organizations that exist to serve their members. Like banks, credit unions accept deposits, make loans and provide a wide array of other financial services. But as member-owned and cooperative institutions, credit unions provide a safe place to save and borrow at reasonable rates.
Member Owned
Credit unions are owned and controlled by the people, or members, who use their services.
Credit unions operate to promote the well-being of their members.
Cooperative
The cooperative structure of credit unions creates a cycle of mutual assistance towards the common goal of the financial well-being of members.
Not-For-Profit
Profits made by credit unions are returned back to members in the form of reduced fees, higher savings rates and lower loan rates.
