History

edit

Patelco Credit Union once served an organization formerly known as Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Company (now known as AT&T). However, in 1983 it opened its doors to the public and now operates 37 branches in Northern California.[4] It provides services in the form of deposits, lending, investments, and insurance.

Starting June 29th, 2024, Patelco has been experiencing a ransomware attack, causing a partial service outage.[5] It's started to provide daily updates in its Security Incident Updates & Information Center.
