Culture

We put people first and that starts with our team. We are here for each other and our greatest strength is our ability to navigate change ... together as One Team. We are purposeful in our mission, striving each day to take what is often a very sensitive and stressful topic - finances - and make it easier for our members. 

Our SPEERIT (Service Passion, Empowerment, Engagement, Integrity, Teamwork) values guide the way we partner, communicate and have fun as a team. 

About Us

People helping people. 

Patelco was founded in 1936 to serve the financial interests of employees at the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company (now part of AT&T). With assets now totaling more than $9 billion and 450,000 members nationwide, we are among the largest credit unions in the nation today.

Guided by our mission to help improve our members' financial health, we strive to offer lower fees, better rates and best-in-class products. Everything we offer is designed to help our members get to where they want to go. Through good times and bad, we have their back. That's what keeps us motivated and inspired. It's not only our job, it's our purpose. 

 

Personal Growth

Tuition Reimbursement

Our tuition reimbursement program allows team members to advance their education, while creating opportunities for career development and advancement. Tuition reimbursement is offered to full-time and part-time employees.

Learning & Development

We believe in a culture of continuous learning. Our learning and development team creates innovative and relevant courses and on-demand webinars, in addition to partnering with external training opportunities like LinkedIn Learning. We empower our team to advance themselves, in the way they prefer to learn, because we know that when you continuously enhance your knowledge, it allows your true talent to shine.  

 

Team Perks

Auto and Mortgage Loan Discounts

We believe in offering great rates to our members and even better rates for our team members with special loan discounts on mortgages and automobiles. Listen to how our team member, Stephanie, used her HELOC. 

401k

"In a world where benefits are generally reduced or totally eliminated, I am excited about Patelco's 401(k) match. We have a %5 match and an additional 3% in a SafeHarbor account. That's 8%! I feel confident that I will have money to travel and enjoy my golden years." - Patelco team member

Volunteerism

We work with small organizations in our communities to support our commitment to housing, hunger relief, healthy children and financial literacy. At an organizational level, we partner with Habitat for Humanity, UC Children's Hospitals throughout Northern California and County food banks in our regions. We also provide relief to wildfire victims and their families with care packages and loan relief. As a team member, you'll have the opportunity to get involved and volunteer. 

Entertainment and Attractions

We partner with Tickets at Work to offer our team discount tickets to entertainment, amusement parks, concerts and other events. 

 

Our Members

We are here to help our members navigate their financial ups and downs, partnering with them to provide guidance and products that meet their individual needs and are in their best interest. 

 

Our "People, Not Profits" philosophy is part of everything we do. We're dedicated to providing the highest level of service, and we are so proud of our team for delivering on that promise in these unprecedented times.
