Excite Credit Union was created by a small group of visionary General Electric employees based on the idea of 'people helping people.' Established in 1952, Excite Credit Union is a member-owned, financial cooperative now serves more than 40,000 members in nine counties—Santa Clara, San Mateo, Alameda, Santa Cruz, San Francisco and Monterey counties in California, and New Hanover, Pender and Brunswick counties in North Carolina. We also serve approximately 400 Community Business Partners (employers) throughout both states by offering exclusive benefits to their employees.
