VCCU is a full-service, Southern California credit union with branches in Ventura, Port Hueneme, Oxnard, RiverPark, Camarillo, Thousand Oaks, Simi Valley and Moorpark. If you live, work or attend school in Ventura or Santa Barbara Counties, you are eligible to join!
I became a member back in the 80s. My father was a Deputy in the Ventura County Sheriffs. He had been a member for years along with the rest of my family. It truly feels great when you walk into your local branch and they know you by name.
