KeyPoint Credit Union

KeyPoint Credit Union was launched in 1979, when a group of visionary companies in the American Electronics Association in Silicon Valley realized the power of joining resources to serve the financial needs of their employees.

Today, with more than $861 million in assets and 61,000 members from companies such as Apple, Google, Cisco, and scores of other leaders in the high-tech industry, KeyPoint Credit Union is one of California’s largest credit unions.

Remaining at the forefront of member service has been our ongoing mission.
