ECS Federal Credit Union was named Best in Financial Services at the East County Honors Awards Gala, an award that recognizes organizations making a meaningful impact in our local community. As a credit union built to serve the education community, this honor reflects the trust and support of our members, partners, and schools we proudly serve.
We’re also thrilled to celebrate our very own Denise Cuellar, who was recognized as Business Volunteer of the Year for her outstanding dedication and service to the community. Her commitment to supporting local schools, educators, and organizations truly embodies the spirit of our credit union.
These recognitions belong to our members, staff, and community partners who help us make a difference every day. Thank you for being part of our mission to support and strengthen the education community.
We’re honored to serve you.

Grant Nelson - Retired La Mesa Spring Valley Schools 8th Grade History TeacherWhile overseas I found myself in the frightening situation of being out of cash and with two debit cards from other financial institutions that weren’t working, despite my travel notice pre-planning. ECSFCU’s amazing member services team stayed late on a Friday to approve and immediately fund a quick loan that made the rest of our trip wonderful. Nobody else does that! Not only is it something that I will never forget, but it’s something I want to tell everyone about.
