Members own the credit union and each member has one vote and equal ownership. We don't have shareholders controlling the credit union which allows us to concentrate on our most important asset, YOU. Our promise is to treat you with respect, to be accurate and secure with your information, and make it easy for you to bank with us
We're not just a credit union, but a community. It's not just about stockholders. Our goal is to bring you the best financial opportunities and put money back into your pockets - because that's what neighbors do.

Our History
The University of Nebraska Federal Credit Union was started by seven faculty members back in 1937. Soon after membership was expanded to include university staff and in 2006 university students were added to the field of membership. In the fall of 2016 the credit union began reaching out to Alumni and welcoming them to join as well. The founders were big on helping the university community to save, borrow and live better. We continue to focus on these principles.
Today, the University of Nebraska FCU has over 11,000 members and over $128 million in assets. We offer mobile banking, mobile deposit, Internet banking, checking and savings accounts, credit cards, consumer loans, mortgage loans, business loans, online bill pay and many other services. Individuals eligible for membership include faculty, staff, volunteers, alumni and students on any University of Nebraska campus; and their families.
Membership Information
What's The Difference Between a Credit Union and a Bank?
Unlike banks, credit unions aren’t trying to make a profit or cater to shareholders. Credit unions exist for members. As a result, we’re able to offer lower fees and better interest rates on things like savings accounts and loans.
Are there any membership requirements?
The University of Nebraska Federal Credit Union is chartered to serve the faculty, staff, students, alumni, volunteers and family members of any campus of the University of Nebraska. Visit our become a member page for more details.
What do I need to Open an Account?
