Universal 1 Credit Union is headquartered in Dayton and is the 20th largest credit union in the state of Ohio. It is also the 735th largest credit union in the nation. It was established in 1937 and as of June of 2022, it had grown to 86 employees and 48,696 members at 9 locations. Universal 1 Credit Union's CD rates are 51% higher than the national average, and it has a B+ health rating.
Not As Good As They Used To Be
Deposit Growth is down and Capitalization is considered average. CD rates are okay but there are better rates in the Cincinnati, Dayton area. They appear to have survived the recession which hit Dayton particularly hard, but otherwise really need to reverse the Deposit Growth trend and improve Capitalization. Might be hard to do in Dayton region.
There has been a lot of upheaval in the local credit unions with mergers, and switching to ASI insurance.
Will be interesting to see how they are doing in the coming years. They are not as competitive as they used to be.

Horrible At Most Everything
Use to be pretty decent. Now poor poor rates. Tellers are not experienced and always make account mistakes. Management treats you like crap if you complain. I actually think they are in the process of going out of business.
