Provident Credit Union

About the branch

Provident Credit Union's Palo Alto Community Branch is at 2390 El Camino Real, Suite 110, near California Avenue. Provident is a member-owned credit union with 21 branches on its locations page, stretching from San Francisco and the East Bay down to San Jose and Los Gatos and out to Folsom. Other Peninsula branches include Redwood Shores, San Mateo and Sunnyvale.

The branch phone number is 650-320-1521. Provident's page for the branch names Brianne Nolasco as branch manager. It also lists a mortgage consultant and a financial consultant who work from this office.

This page describes the branch as Provident presents it. It is not financial advice and you should compare account terms yourself before you join any bank or credit union.

Hours

The lobby is open six days a week:

• Monday to Thursday: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
• Friday: 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
• Saturday: 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
• Sunday: closed

The Friday evening hour and the Saturday morning opening are useful if you work during the week. Holiday schedules can differ, so check the branch page before a visit around a long weekend.

What you can do here

The branch page highlights a surcharge-free ATM that accepts deposits. Inside, staff handle everyday account business. The page links to an appointment scheduler, so you can book time with a staff member rather than wait. Booking ahead makes sense for anything longer than a quick deposit, such as opening an account or talking through a loan.

Because a mortgage consultant and a financial consultant list this branch among their offices, it is a place to ask about home loans and other services in person. Provident's page does not list safe deposit boxes, coin counting or notary service for this branch. Call first if you need any of those.

Joining Provident

Provident invites visitors to join as member-owners, which is how credit unions work. Its branch page does not spell out who is eligible, so ask the branch or check Provident's website for the current membership rules before you go in. If you plan to open an account on the spot, call ahead to ask which documents to bring.

Getting there

The branch is on El Camino Real at the western end of the California Avenue district. The California Avenue Caltrain station is within walking distance and the street's restaurants and the Sunday farmers market are a few blocks away. Across El Camino Real is College Terrace. Drivers should check posted parking signs, since time limits apply on nearby streets.

Other financial services nearby in our directory include the Wells Fargo on California Avenue.

Tips

• Use the Saturday hours for errands you cannot fit in on weekdays.
• Book an appointment online for account openings or loan questions.
• Use the deposit-taking ATM for quick check deposits.
