New Debit Card Alert: Show Your Vegas Desert Dogs Pride with Every Purchase! 🥍

We’re taking our partnership with the Las Vegas Desert Dogs to the next level! In addition to supporting the Sticks to Success program, we’re giving you a brand-new way to rep our local lacrosse team—introducing the exclusive CCCU Vegas Desert Dogs debit card!

Now, you can show your love for Las Vegas' premier lacrosse team with every tap, swipe, and purchase. This debit card comes with all the amazing rewards you already know and love, plus it will give you 10% off Food and Beverage at any Desert Dogs match at Lee’s Family Forum!

New to CCCU debit card rewards? With the debit card, your purchases can earn points, just like your CCCU credit card transactions! Having both a CCCU debit and credit card lets you combine points and rack up rewards even faster.

Order your Vegas Desert Dogs debit card today! Call our Member Service team at 702-228-2228 or log in to online banking.

*Please Note: If you have a current CCCU debit card, when you order the new design your current debit card number will be deactivated, and you will receive a new card number when the new card is issued. You will need to update any automatic payments with the newly issued debit card number OR use CCCU’s Card Swap feature in online banking to help transition to the new card number. For visual guidance, please watch this How to Use Card Swap video.  Card delivery will take 7-10 business days.

Stand Up for Credit Unions: Your Voice is Needed Now

At Clark County Credit Union (CCCU), we work hard to provide unique advantages to our members. One of them is more favorable pricing than can be found at national banks on Wall Street. For you, this means: 

• Lower loan rates.
• Higher rates on savings.
• Fewer and lower fees.
• Free financial counseling.
• Personalized service at branches and call centers. 

Providing top-tier financial products is a recognition of our core mission: to serve you, our member-owners (not stockholders). Because CCCU is not driven by profit like traditional banks, we can focus on providing the best possible financial services to our members.

Unfortunately, Congress may leverage a new tax on all credit unions, including CCCU. Leaders in Congress are meeting to determine how to pay for the extension of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA). Recently, the House Budget Committee passed a resolution to begin the process for tax reform. Congressmembers will review every opportunity to reduce the deficit “price tag” that accompanies extension of the TCJA.

To send a clear message to your Member of Congress, please click here and use our credit union movement’s Connect for the Cause platform. It only takes one minute and is the most direct, powerful way to ensure CCCU can continue serving you. 

Thank you for being a part of the Clark County Credit Union family. 

CCCU recently sponsored a Cruisin’ with Cops event, hosted by The Neighborhood Challenge whose mission is to diminish crime by providing innovative mentorship programs to youth in our community.

At the event held at the Las Vegas Mini Grand Prix, families had the chance to connect with Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) officers in a fun and engaging way through race cars, rides and food! CCCU volunteers helped make the day special by giving out custom event shirts and interacting with the young attendees and officers.

As part of CCCU’s commitment to our local community, the credit union believes that events like Cruisin’ with Cops play a crucial role in strengthening relationships between kids and real-life officers, fostering trust and positive connections.

CCCU is honored to support events like this that bring our community together. We look forward to more opportunities to engage, connect, and make a difference!
