United Bay Community Credit Union
United Bay Community Credit Union (Ubay) was founded 75 years ago, with one core purpose in mind: to build and foster the financial well-being of our community. More than just a bank, Ubay is a member-owned, not-for-profit financial institution. We provide a safe place to grow strong financial roots ... all the way from your first savings account to a well-planned and comfortable retirement, and all the lending, banking and financial education that comes along the way.
As a state-chartered community credit union, membership is available to anyone who lives, works, worships or attends school in Michigan.

Additional Culture Details
Culture at Ubay is a Cohesion Culture, an environment where employees feel like they truly fit in. We are purposeful in fostering a sense of belonging, creating value in our work and sharing in mutual commitments across the organization. The strength of the team is each individual member, and the strength of the member is the team. We prioritize individual growth and are distinguished by the relational aspects of the talent within the organization (how employees think about and relate to one another). When a Cohesion Culture is in place, individuals are able to better relate to all facets of the organization and our membership. Employees access motivation, inspiration and support from multiple sources, and are effectively engaged. Everyone at Ubay is a leader.
Our management team assures that we have fully aligned initiatives of employee inclusion, employee purpose and that each person's voice matters. Kudos, our social platform for recognition, is just one tool we use to showcase celebrations, recognize employees and demonstrate that our credit union cares and support a wide range of causes.
At Ubay, everyone wins. Employees get a relationship that lasts, and in return we have a foundation for an unstoppable team.
