Humble Beginnings
Altura Credit Union’s journey began in 1957, when Secretary Peggy Green founded Riverside Schools Credit Union. Initially, its primary purpose was to provide financial services to employees of the county’s school district. This modest start marked the beginning of a significant financial institution that would evolve to serve a much wider community.
Expanding Horizons
Recognizing the growing needs of the region, the credit union expanded its field of membership in 2004. This expansion encompassed Riverside and San Diego counties, as well as select cities in Orange and San Bernardino counties. To reflect this geographic growth and its aspirations, the credit union rebranded itself as Altura Credit Union. The name “Altura” is Spanish for “height,” symbolizing the credit union’s commitment to reaching new heights and elevating the financial well-being of its members.
A Strategic Merger
In 2015, Altura further solidified its position as a leading financial institution by merging with Visterra Credit Union. This strategic move brought together two strong credit unions, creating a combined entity with over $1.1 billion in assets and 118,000 members. The merger allowed Altura to offer a wider range of financial products and services, enhanced technological capabilities, and increased its ability to serve the community.
A Community-Focused Approach
Altura’s growth has been driven by a commitment to its members and the communities it serves. The credit union’s focus on providing personalized service, competitive rates, and convenient access to financial services has contributed to its success. Additionally, Altura has been actively involved in various community initiatives, supporting local organizations and causes.
As Altura continues to grow and evolve, it remains dedicated to its core values of respect, innovation, integrity, passion, and excellence. By staying true to its mission, Altura aims to be the financial partner of choice for generations to come.
