Why Join The District Credit Union
We are a not-for-profit cooperative, founded in 1961 by eight Aurora Public School teachers who each contributed $5 toward our first $40 loan. Ever since, our education-minded credit union has fought hard to improve the financial lives of our members with better products and friendlier service. Become a member of The District Credit Union today and start prospering.
The Many Benefits of Membership
Get Competitive Rates
We provide our members with great rates on everything, from high savings interest rates to low loan interest rates. And where we can’t offer the best rates around, we partner with other organizations that can. What’s in it for us? Your continued financial success.
Simplify Your Banking
Choosing the right accounts to put your money in is straightforward, our loan application processes are streamlined, and there are no hidden fees to worry about (that’s right, free checking!). Everyone deserves banking that’s simple and works for their interests.
Enjoy On-the-Go, Nationwide Support
All of your banking activities can be easily managed through our convenient web and mobile apps. Plus, our members enjoy free access to over 5,000 shared branch locations and 30,000 ATMs nationwide. No matter where you go, you’re never far from The District.
Rely on our Friendly Service
Want advice on managing your funds and debt? Trying to figure out how to comfortably afford a major expenditure? Need some compassion and flexibility around your payments? Our friendly staff share one single mission: to be of as much help as we can to our members.
