You may also notice exciting progress at our Oxnard Branch. The remodel is moving along well and will provide a more modern, welcoming, and efficient experience for both members and team members. We appreciate your patience during construction and apologize for any temporary inconvenience. Once complete, the branch will reflect the updated look and feel of our Camarillo and Simi Valley locations.

Empowering people along their financial journey through personalized and innovative service.

Community Impact

OceanAir proudly partnered with United Way of Ventura County for its annual Stuff the Bus campaign, an initiative dedicated to providing essential school supplies to underserved K-8 students throughout Ventura County. By helping students start the school year with the tools they need, the campaign supports their confidence, preparedness, and ability to succeed in the classroom.

As part of the effort, every OceanAir branch served as a donation hub, giving our members, employees, and community an opportunity to come together and make a difference. Thanks to their generosity, OceanAir collected more than 150 school supply items to support local students and families.

The impact continued beyond collecting supplies. This year’s Stuff the Bus campaign provided an incredible 3,053 backpacks to local students, helping thousands of children head back to school prepared and ready to learn. OceanAir volunteers were proud to roll up their sleeves and be part of that effort, stuffing 1,730 backpacks in just three hours.

For OceanAir, supporting our community means more than providing financial services. It means showing up, lending a hand, and investing in the people and families who make Ventura County home. We are proud to support our local students and help give them the tools they need to begin the school year with confidence and set themselves up for success. 

Remembering Kristie Elzinga:
A Life of Service & Community Impact

OceanAir honors the memory of Kristie Elzinga, whose dedication to service, leadership, and community enrichment left a lasting impact throughout Ventura County.

A respected banking professional and tireless community volunteer, Kristie was known for her warmth, generosity, and commitment to helping others. Throughout her life, she devoted her time and talents to numerous organizations, including the Oxnard College Foundation, Port Hueneme Kiwanis, California Strawberry Festival, Oxnard Ambassadors, and the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Oxnard and Port Hueneme. She also served as a state-certified Ombudsman for Ventura County, advocating on behalf of local residents and families.

OceanAir was privileged to benefit from Kristie’s leadership and experience during her tenure on the OceanAir Federal Credit Union Board of Directors from 2018 to 2021. Her banking expertise, thoughtful perspective, and passion for serving the community made her a valued contributor to the Board and the credit union’s mission.

Those who knew Kristie remember her welcoming spirit, kindness, and willingness to support others. Whether serving on a board, volunteering at a community event, or helping a friend or neighbor, she consistently demonstrated a genuine commitment to making a positive difference.

Kristie’s legacy of service, community involvement, and compassion will continue to inspire those whose lives she touched. OceanAir extends its heartfelt condolences to her family and friends and remains grateful for her many contributions to our organization and the communities we serve.
