Our History

CAMPUS USA Credit Union was originally chartered in 1935 as Gainesville Florida Campus Federal Credit Union and was the first credit union on a U.S. College Campus. In 1994, we changed our name to Your Campus Federal Credit Union before converting to a State of Florida charter under our current name, CAMPUS USA Credit Union. CAMPUS serves over 180,000 members from all over the world. As a not-for-profit cooperative, we are owned by our members. So, at CAMPUS, you’re not just a member – you own the place! Profits are returned to our member-owners in the form of no- and low-fee financial services and best-of-market rates on deposits and loans. Since our members own CAMPUS, we can never be bought, nor can we merge with another institution without our members’ approval.
