VCCU’s Extra Hours Featured in the Acorn

In addition to its regular hours, the Ventura County Credit Union will be open every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. beginning March 3 at its Ventura, Oxnard, Thousand Oaks and Simi Valley branches.

During the new hours, credit union members will be able to open new accounts, apply for loans and perform their day-to-day financial transactions.

Because credit unions are not for profit, they return their excess earnings back to the members they serve, typically through higher rates on savings accounts, lower rates on loans and by charging lower and fewer fees.

VCCU, chartered in 1950, is the largest credit union headquartered in Ventura County, with five offices, nearly 53,000 members, and $567 million in total assets. It offers a complete line of loans, federally insured savings and 24- hour electronic access services.
