Our name changes November 16

We’ll let you know if any steps are needed and explain what to do. See the website and mobile app answers below for guidance about the transition.

Your account, member and routing numbers will not change because of the November 16 name change. You do not need to open a replacement account or change your payroll, benefits or direct-deposit instructions.

Your existing automatic payments, bill pay, transfers and loan-payment arrangements will continue.

Yes. Your current debit and credit cards will continue working, and you can keep using your existing checks. You do not need replacements because of the name change.

New branding will appear as cards and materials are updated over time.

Website and saved links: We will introduce our new website address on November 16. Continue using the current website until then. On November 16, open online banking through our official website and update any saved or bookmarked online banking links. A temporary redirect from the old online banking address is planned.

Login and features: Online banking will have updated colors, a new logo and a new web address. Its functionality will stay the same. If you are already enrolled, keep using your current username and password; you do not need to reset them.

Your current Apple or Android app will be updated automatically. If it has not updated automatically, it will keep working with the current branding until it is updated.

Keep using your current login credentials, and get app updates through your device’s official app store.

The name change itself does not change your existing account terms, rates or fees. Your account terms and any updates communicated separately still apply.

Verify the message by calling a number you already trust, such as one listed on your card, statement or our website. You can reach First Californian at 877-992-8663.

Never give your online banking password, card PIN or sign-in verification codes to someone who contacts you unexpectedly.

First Californian and American United will announce and begin using one new shared name on November 16, 2026. It will be different from both current names.

Using two public names has caused confusion about how our divisions are connected. We considered using American United throughout the organization and chose a new name to help distinguish our credit union and represent the whole organization.

No. November 16 is a name and brand change, with no merger or change in ownership.

First Californian and American United are already part of the same credit union, and both will begin using the new shared name. You will remain a member of the same credit union.
