Expanding Access for All

Point West is proud to hold the Low-Income Designation (LID) from the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA). This designation grants us access to enhanced resources, allowing us to better serve underserved and low-income communities with the support they need to thrive.

We’re Different, Because You Deserve More

We’re rewriting the rules of banking with a not-for-profit, member-owned approach. Our bilingual team is passionate about financial inclusion, equity, and empowering the underserved. Together, we’re building a stronger community.
