- Official name
- Matadors Community Credit Union
- Charter / type
- Community credit union (CSUN roots). Confirm NCUA via locator.
- Field of membership (summary)
- Community: live, work, or worship in listed Southern California communities (Agoura Hills, Arleta, Calabasas, Canoga Park, Chatsworth, Encino, Granada Hills, Mission Hills, Northridge/Porter Ranch, North Hills, North Hollywood, Pacoima, Panorama City, Reseda, Santa Clarita Valley, San Fernando, Sherman Oaks, Simi Valley, Sun Valley, Sylmar, Tarzana, Valley Village, Van Nuys, West Hills, Winnetka, Woodland Hills). CSUN: students, faculty/staff, Alumni Association. CFT: California Federation of Teachers members (+ family). Family of current members. Other: join CSUN Arts Council with tax-deductible donation ($5 minimum) — Matadors states they help with this when you open.
- Join steps (as published)
- Online, branch, or call 818-993-6328. Use community/CSUN/family path if eligible; otherwise Arts Council donation path.
- Fees (only if published)
- Arts Council path: $5 minimum donation (published). Share/account monthly fees: not published on become-a-member page reviewed.
- ATM / network notes
- Not published on the page reviewed.
- Branches serving Greater LA
- SFV-focused; use matadors.org locations. Strong fit for San Fernando Valley ZIPs.
- Caveats
- City-list path is geographic — Westside/South Bay residents without work/worship in listed cities typically need the donation path. Do not claim “anyone in LA County.”
- Join difficulty rationale
- Medium — either you match the Valley city list / CSUN / CFT, or you take a small paid association path ($5).
