Copper Credit Union

Welcome to the neighborhood

$100 on us when you open your first account online.

Six minutes, from your couch. The terms are two sentences: keep the account open 90 days, get a direct deposit. Done.

What Copper does

  • 01 · Checking

    Paid two days early

    Direct deposit lands the moment it's sent. Round-ups sweep spare change into savings without you thinking about it.

    Everyday checking
  • 02 · Savings

    4.10% APY, no asterisk

    Interest, compounding daily. Goals you can name, fund, and raid without penalty. The fine print is three sentences.

    High-yield savings
  • 03 · Business

    For the corner shop

    Small-business checking with same-day card settlement and a banker who knows your name and your regulars.

The money check-up

How's your money, really?

Fifteen minutes with a banker at any mint. No pitch, no products — just a straight look at where your money stands and the one or two moves worth making. Free, whether or not you bank with us.

  • Is your paycheck working from day one — or sitting somewhere at 0.01%?
  • Would a surprise $400 expense be a shrug or a crisis?
  • Are you paying fees you've stopped noticing?
  • Do your goals have names, dates, and dollar amounts?

The honest comparison

Them vs us

Big banks

Shareholders first.

  • $12/month "maintenance" fees for maintaining nothing
  • 0.01% interest while they lend your money at 8%
  • $35 overdraft fees, charged three at a time
  • Phone trees with nine options, none of them a person

Copper

Neighbors first.

  • $0 monthly, $0 minimums, $0 overdraft fees
  • 4.10% APY on savings, compounding daily
  • Paycheck lands two days early
  • Four branches where a human answers the phone

Four mints, one city

Branches you'd actually walk into.

Coffee's on. Open weekdays 9–6, Saturdays 10–2. Lost your card? We print a new one while you wait.

Results are provided by CO-OP Solutions and open in a new tab. Some shared branches limit the transactions they accept, so call ahead for large withdrawals.

Why we exist

Banks spent decades making money feel complicated. We'd rather you split brunch, hit your goal, and get on with your Saturday.

Walk-in banking is back

Look for the coin over the door.

Green storefront, copper awning, coffee inside. Our mints sit between the bookstore and the burrito spot — exactly where a neighborhood bank belongs.

Come in to open an account, print a card, or ask the question you think is too small. It isn't.

Your money, minus the boring bank.

Opening an account takes about six minutes. Bring your phone; leave the paperwork. Free coffee at any branch, account or not.
