Join OnPoint

Join a community, not a bank. People are the Point.

Community banking and so much more. Unlock what's possible.

Excellent rates & member value

Member-owned & community-focused

Extensive ATM & branch network

Dependable & secure access

Credit unions are different. OnPoint takes it further.

People are the Point.

Money without people is just money. It doesn’t roll up its sleeves to get things done. It doesn’t have a story, or dream big. OnPoint understands that it takes people to run a business, or turn a house into a home. And it takes people to build and support a thriving community.

People helping people.

We live in an inspiring community full of remarkable people and organizations working every day to make it special. We’re a member-owned, local community credit union empowering you to get the most out of your life through personalized banking service, comprehensive financial solutions and community impact.

People are the Point.
