SUBJECT: USE Credit Union Membership

One of the many benefits of being a UCSD faculty or staff member is the eligibility to join the University & State Employee (USE) Credit Union. Having a USE branch right on campus makes it convenient for University employees.

USE Credit Union offers a full range of financial services. In addition to checking and savings accounts, they have low-interest credit cards and great rates on auto, consumer, and home loans. They also offer a variety of savings and investment options.

As a USE member, convenient and timesaving account access is provided. In addition to five San Diego locations and a worldwide network of ATMs, you can access your accounts through LiveWire, USE's 24-hour automated telephone service, or during regular business hours, a Call Center representative will be happy to assist you.

USE also offers Internet banking and bill payment. In addition, you can get instant loan approval online. Check them out at http://www.usecu.org.

Many faculty and staff members already take advantage of USE's participation in the University's Direct Deposit service, which automatically deposits their University paychecks. In addition to saving valuable time, this service ensures that your funds are immediately available on any given payday.

If you have not already done so, please consider joining USE Credit Union. The UCSD branch office is located at 3100 Gilman Drive. For information call (858) 453-5620, or USE's Call Center at (619) 641-7575 during normal business hours.
