Cabrillo Credit Union prioritizes community support and personalized financial services to enhance members' lives.
Building community is more than a mission statement for credit unions—it’s in their DNA.
“Credit unions were born out of necessity during the Great Depression when banks turned their backs on individual customers,” says Kevin Posey, CEO of Cabrillo Credit Union. “People pooled their money together to help their community. We’ve never lost sight of that purpose.”
As a not-for-profit credit union based in San Diego since 1955, Cabrillo Credit Union doesn’t need to consider making shareholders or ownership groups happy. Instead, its focus is entirely on building local communities by supporting each member-owner through good times and bad.
“Personal finance can be one of the most stressful parts of someone’s life,” says Posey. “We put ourselves in our members’ shoes and get to know them so we can understand how to make their lives easier.”
The Personalized Touch
More than customers, Cabrillo Credit Union members are considered family, so the team at each location serves them through personalized services and products.
“We utilize advanced technology that allows us to understand our members’ data and use that information to better serve them,” says Jeremy Preimesberger, vice president of marketing. “It’s good not only for locals to know about Cabrillo Credit Union but also for government agencies as well. We offer a unique portfolio of financial products unavailable anywhere else.”
In addition to technology, the team is trained in financial education. If someone has fallen on hard times and doesn’t understand how credit scores or other banking basics work, they can call or visit a branch location to find solutions.
“One-on-one conversations offer the most effective learning,” says Posey. “There’s lots of information online, but there’s always a risk of misinformation or overwhelming oneself. Here, it’s easy to walk in and engage with a 20-year veteran branch manager; we can be a personal resource to solve the problem.”
Catalyst for Good
Originally chartered as Border Federal Credit Union to serve U.S. Border Patrol and health care providers such as Sharp HealthCare, Cabrillo Credit Union has expanded its services to positively impact the community at large through partnerships with nonprofits and other organizations.
“Our relationships with organizations across San Diego are important to our mission,” says Posey. “We’ve remained focused on the groups that have been at the core of Cabrillo Credit Union for decades but found that we can also play a pivotal role for other groups that are doing tremendous work.”
Whether through annual fundraisers for Rady Children’s Hospital-San Diego or supporting at-risk youth through after-school programs such as Community Youth Athletic Center, Cabrillo Credit Union is invested in making a positive impact with the help of its members.
“By banking with Cabrillo Credit Union, members become catalysts and conduits to do good in the community, which member-owners may not have the time, capacity, or money for,” says Posey. “We merge community care and financial expertise to support every member’s financial journey while strengthening our communities.”
