Strata Credit Union is member-owned. That means every dollar you put in goes right back to you.

What is Strata CU?

Co-Operative: That’s how we operate

At Strata, the dollars you put in are given back to you in the form of better rates, lower fees, and dividends rather than profiting shareholders like in a traditional bank. At Strata, we understand the value of putting our members first.

Member Owned

Being a member means you are joining a movement of individuals that want control over how their money is used.

Volunteer-Run

Our Board of Directors and Supervisory committee is run by volunteer members. Their guidance ensure decisions made are in the best interest of the members and future growth of the credit union.

Not-For-Profit

All profit goes back into the credit union through better dividends, better rates, and improved customer service for you.

I’ve banked with other Credit Unions in town before and they always made me feel like they don’t care about me, like they only wanted my money,” said Cazares. “I am treated like a friend at Strata Credit Union. That is why I like coming here.

— Joseph Cazares, Member Since 1984
