Utilities Employees Credit Union

Utilities Employees Credit Union (UECU) was founded in 1934 to serve gas and electric utility employees on the East Coast.

As a not-for-profit financial cooperative, UECU offers exclusive membership benefits such as low-cost loans, savings rates that are higher than the national average, member rewards, cash-back checking options, and free financial wellness resources. Unlike traditional banks, UECU does not have shareholders; it is owned by its members. This structure ensures that all decisions are made with the best interests of the members in mind.
