About Us
Serving the Community Since 1958
Big Bank Benefits Without the Big Bank Vibe
We have all of the same amenities as a big bank, only we're a lot less banky. Fifteen members and a federal charter to serve the Torrance city employees began the foundation of Torrance Community Credit Union. Our first office was located in the building we now occupy at 1511 Cravens Avenue in Historic Downtown Torrance. Sixty years ago, opening a credit union membership required $5 in a share account. Today, that is the same requirement.
Even though we have grown from 15 members and $15,000 in assets to more than 7,200 members and $167 million in assets, our standards of prompt personal service remain unchanged. We are advocates for our members' financial well-being. We aim to provide our members with the best possible rates, exceptional member services, and progressive and innovative financial products in an ever-changing economic environment.
Over the years, membership eligibility expanded to include those living or working in Torrance, Redondo Beach, Palos Verdes, Hawthorne, Lawndale, and Lennox.
In the credit union spirit of “People Helping People,” TCCU contributes to several area charities and not-for-profit organizations. These organizations include Heal the Bay, Food for Kids with the Volunteer Center in Torrance, Armed Forces Day Parade, Blue Steele Run fundraiser for the Special Olympics, and many more. TCCU also maintains an ongoing relationship with the Torrance Education Foundation (TEF).
