About Camino Federal Credit Union
Camino Federal Credit Union is a member-owned financial cooperative serving employees of the Montebello Unified School District, as well as area community groups.
A credit union’s operating philosophy is different from a bank’s. Banks are closely held corporations that exist to make money for their stockholders. Credit unions, on the other hand, are financial cooperatives, owned entirely by their members. Our goal is not to create profit but to provide the best possible financial services at the lowest possible costs.
After paying our operating expenses, we return our "profit" to the members in the form of lower loan rates and higher savings yields. We are committed to providing exceptional service as well, paying personal attention to your needs and making sure that you always receive the greatest value when doing business with us.
One of the most important things about Camino Federal Credit Union is that we are part of the community. We are owned by people who live, work, worship and attend school with you. We are your friends and neighbors, and we share your goal of improving the quality of life for all.
