Our Values
At our core, we are member-centric—putting the needs, goals, and financial well-being of our members first in every decision we make. We act with honesty and integrity, earning trust through transparency, reliability, and responsible stewardship. We empower individuals and families with the tools, education, and support they need to thrive. We are committed to sustainable growth that strengthens our organization for the long term.
Above all, we are community focused, investing our time, resources, and heart into the neighborhoods we serve and living our purpose of people helping people.
Our History
Trusted by members for 90+ years to reach their goals.
PremierOne Credit Union is the combination of two credit unions rich in history. National 1st Credit Union originally formed in 1968 for National Semiconductor employees, and San Jose Credit Union began serving employees of the City of San Jose in 1932. The merger between the two credit unions in 2013 formed a credit union better able to serve its membership. At each step, we selected the best of each organization to maximize what we offer members without losing the dedicated service each had cultivated.
Our Commitment to Community
Giving back is the heart of who we are. We’re more than a financial institution—we’re committed community partners. By supporting local businesses and causes that make a real difference, we build lasting relationships and help strengthen our community.
For us, community involvement isn’t just a responsibility—it’s a privilege.
