We Are Becoming One
Delivering even more value to our combined credit union membership and communities


SAFE Member & Community Bulletin
The combination between BECU and SAFE Credit Union is proceeding smoothly and according to plan. Together, we couldn’t be more excited to create a combined credit union that will deliver enhanced benefits for our members, communities and employees. With greater resources and technology, we’ll be able to do more of what credit unions do best: show up for the people and places that need it most.
With that in mind, SAFE shared with its members at its annual meeting on April 21, 2026, two meaningful commitments that will benefit Sacramento-area members and the community immediately upon completion of the combination.
$500,000
Dedicated to First-Time Homebuyer Grants, bringing a BECU hallmark program to the Sacramento region. This grant program provides eligible members up to $8,000 to put towards a down payment or closing cost assistance for first home purchases.
$1M
Investment added to the $500,000 SAFE traditionally gives annually toward philanthropic initiatives that reflect what matters most to SAFE members and the Sacramento community. This aligns with BECU's longstanding commitment of approximately $6 per member per year invested back into the community.
