Bay Federal Credit Union Bay Federal Credit Union is a full-service, not-for-profit financial cooperative. Bay Federal Credit Union is federally insured by the NCUA.
(234)

We provide personal and business banking services but, unlike a bank, we're owned by our account-holders — members like you! Our goal is to be better than a bank by delivering outstanding service, competitive savings yields, low loan rates, and many low and no-cost services. Our Board of Directors is made up of unpaid volunteers who oversee the strategic direction of the credit union, always with the safety and security of your money as the number one priority. Membership is open to those connected with the Tri-County area — anyone who lives, works, worships, attends school, or volunteers in Santa Cruz, Monterey or San Benito Counties may join us. We welcome your feedback, but comments that include profanity, slander, spam-like content, or are unrelated to the topic may be hidden or removed in accordance with our community guidelines. For account-related help, please contact our Member Services team directly.

Tell your car payment we’ll see it next year. 👋

While your car keeps doing its job, your payment could take the rest of the year off. Refinancing with Bay Federal could mean a more competitive rate, a lower monthly payment, or both.

September, you kept us busy. đź’™

From the Monterey County Fair and Capitola Beach Festival to celebrating one year in Marina, showing some love to our business members, and joining the fun at All Star Fest, our team spent the month out and about across our communities.

And that’s only a few of the places we popped up this month.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by, said hello, celebrated with us, and gave us another reason to love being part of this community. Here’s a look back at September! 📸
