As a Department of Public Social Services (DPSS) employee, your dedication to serving the community deserves recognition—including access to financial institutions and credit unions for DPSS employees that understand and value your work. First City Credit Union (FCCU) offers exclusive benefits, competitive rates, and personalized service specifically designed for public sector employees like you.
Immediate Financial Rewards for New DPSS Members
New DPSS members receive instant financial benefits: a $10 bonus for opening a savings account, $25 for opening a checking account, and another $25 when setting up direct deposit with a minimum $250 payroll deposit. These immediate incentives put money back in your pocket from day one.
Competitive Lending Solutions Tailored for Public Service Workers
FCCU offers lending products designed specifically for DPSS employees. Auto loans start as low as 5.99% APR, making reliable transportation more affordable. Personal loans help manage unexpected expenses or consolidate debt, while Home Equity Lines of Credit feature an attractive 5.99% APR introductory rate for the first 12 months.
Banking Made Simple: Fee-Free Accounts and Digital Convenience
Enjoy checking accounts with no monthly maintenance fees and minimal balance requirements. FCCU's robust digital banking platform includes online and mobile banking with secure account access, mobile check deposit, bill pay, and real-time alerts—perfect for busy DPSS employees who need flexible banking access.
High-Yield Savings and Investment Opportunities
Build financial security with competitive rates on high-yield savings accounts, money market options, and certificates of deposit. Start saving with as little as $5, making it accessible regardless of your career stage while helping your money grow more effectively than typical bank products.
Comprehensive Financial Education and Member Support
FCCU provides free financial education seminars, webinars, and one-on-one counseling to help you make informed financial decisions. Member rewards programs offer additional discounts on insurance, travel, and services, providing ongoing savings that complement your public service salary.
The Credit Union Advantage: Member-Owned and Community-Focused

FCCU's specialized focus on public sector employees means personalized service and genuine support for your financial well-being throughout your career.
Convenient Access and Nationwide Banking Network
With multiple Los Angeles County branches and participation in the CO-OP Shared Branch network, you have access to thousands of locations nationwide. Over 30,000 surcharge-free ATMs ensure convenient access to your funds without excessive fees.
Employer Partnership Benefits That Enhance Your Workplace
FCCU's partnership with DPSS includes no-cost employee benefit packages featuring financial education seminars and on-site visits, enhancing overall employee satisfaction while providing valuable workplace financial education.
