We purchased a car for my daughter about a year and half ago and this was one of the financing companies which the car dealer tried to get our car loan. We got a letter an approval letter from Patelco a year later!!!

Patelco Credit Union is an alternative banking facility that provides broad financial services as any normal bank. Because it is owned by the members the services reflect what the members want. As keepers of the owner's funds, they are not required to meet shareholder expectations but to ensure the funds are used judiciously and fairly to the owners' satisfaction. As well, they are participants in the CO-OP ATM system so access to funds is nationwide.
