Urban Upbound Federal Credit Union

The Urban Upbound Federal Credit Union offers affordable and relevant financial services including access to capital, asset-building vehicles and ownership stakes to its members. The credit union is located across from Queensbridge Houses, the largest public housing development in the country, and down the street from Ravenswood Houses.

It serves as an economic anchor, helping ensure that as Long Island City continues to change, the growth benefits residents throughout the neighborhood by keeping neighborhood assets locally owned and controlled.

Eligibility

The Urban Upbound Federal Credit Union offers membership to anyone across all five boroughs–Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Staten Island, and the Bronx — who works, worships, or resides in western Queens (Long Island City, Astoria, Sunnyside, and Woodside). Urban Upbound Federal Credit Union provides low barriers to entry that allows members to access financial services despite having less-than-perfect credit.
