University Credit Union has partnered with UC San Diego to provide students, alumni and retirees access to financial services. The credit union will offer one-on-one consultations, workshops, internships and sponsorships of athletic and alumni events, according to a press release.

Through the partnership, the credit union will also establish the Staff Association Scholarship Fund to offer financial aid to employees. The university will deploy six ATMs throughout the campus and co-branded UC San Diego credit cards and UC San Diego Athletics debit cards.

"Finding a banking partner capable of providing state-of-the-art products and services, while meeting the needs of stakeholders from across an institution of our size, is no small feat," Pierre Ouillet, vice chancellor and CFO of UC San Diego, said in the release. "Partnering with University Credit Union, a not-for-profit financial cooperative founded by members of the higher-ed community, allows us to develop a model for what a partnership between universities and financial institutions can look like."
