About

Inland Federal Credit Union at 8811 Grossmont Boulevard in La Mesa's Grossmont area traces its charter to November 3, 1960, operating as a single-branch, NCUA-insured institution with approximately $15.3 million in assets and 1,400 members serving the Catholic community in east San Diego County. Parish-based membership encompasses the 16 Catholic churches of the El Cajon Deanery plus Saint Gregory the Great in Scripps Ranch, and the credit union's bookkeeping-integration support for parish finances parallels the small-entity accounting at Tavai Bookkeeping LLC. Share savings, share draft checking, and personal loan products carry the same NCUA insurance coverage — up to $250,000 per depositor — as institutions many times Inland's size, backed by the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund. The credit union's “once a member, always a member” policy retains eligibility for parishioners who relocate outside San Diego County, and family-member enrollment extends membership to households beyond the original parish connection. Charitable-giving coordination through parish capital campaigns and school-tuition payment plans overlaps with the community-support infrastructure maintained by organizations like Capita Foundation in the La Mesa area. Highest-value products include secured share-certificate loans using existing deposits as collateral, a structure that preserves dividend earnings on the pledged certificate while providing liquidity at rates typically two to three percentage points above the certificate's APY.
