We’re excited to welcome 1st United Credit Union and its members to Eko.

Since 1932, 1st United has combined neighborly service with technology that makes managing money easier. Its new Digital Investments experience continues that tradition by bringing investing directly into the online and mobile banking platform members already use.

Members can answer a few questions about their goals and risk tolerance, then explore personalized pre-built, hybrid, or self-directed portfolio options. They can begin with as little as $10 and manage their investments alongside their everyday financial accounts.

For a limited time, 1st United is also giving eligible members $10 to help them take their first step toward investing.

Someone new to investing can use Eko’s guided experience to find a portfolio aligned with their needs. Members who prefer greater involvement can personalize their approach or select individual investments themselves.

Everything remains connected to 1st United’s digital banking experience, eliminating the need for another app or separate login.

Digital Investments reflects 1st United’s mission to provide a lifetime of simpler, faster, and friendlier financial services. We’re proud to provide the technology behind this new experience and help more members begin working toward their financial futures.

Founded in 1932, 1st United is one of California’s oldest credit unions. The not-for-profit financial cooperative serves members throughout the San Francisco Bay Area’s East Bay with approachable financial services, digital tools, education, and personalized support. Learn more about 1st United.
