How to Join BluPeak Credit Union
Credit unions differ from banks in that they restrict membership based on a shared common bond, or the credit union’s “field of membership”.
That means in order to qualify for this bonus (or any offer from a credit union), you'll first need to meet one of BluPeak's membership requirements:
- Everyone who lives, works, or worships in the California counties of Alameda, Sacramento, San Diego, Santa Clara, or Yolo.
- Every employee of the State of California, including all its administrative offices.
- Every employee, retiree, student or alumnus of the University of California and California State University system.
- Every employee and member of a Select Employee Group (SEG).
- Immediate family of a USE Credit Union member or persons living in the same residence with a member and maintaining a single economic unit.
Keep in mind that nearly all credit unions have a "once a member, always a member" policy, so once you're in, the above restrictions no longer apply.
