Get Comfortable. You Own the Place.

O Bee is a Member-owned credit union. When you open any account with O Bee (checking, savings, loan) you become Member-owner of a not-for-profit credit union, which means our profits go back to you, in the form of better rates and fewer fees.

Credit unions focus on serving the financial needs of our Members, not on making a profit. Banks? Not so much. We don’t have stockholders. That’s why credit unions rock and why more than 140 million other Americans just like you belong to credit unions. So be a part of this and become a Member of O Bee today.

O Bee is Different

O Bee is a cooperative, not-for-profit financial institution. The structure of credit unions inherently holds us accountable to you and to other Members. We do not have stockholders. We do not engage in risky practices to meet stockholders' profit demands. O Bee does not trade in cryptocurrency. Additionally, as a not-for-profit cooperative, Member deposits are invested back to our Membership in the form of better rates and lower fees.
