Don't just be well, be RebelWELL!

Financial Literacy & Wellness: 
A New Chapter Begins with Rebels CU

Financial wellness is a cornerstone of a healthy, balanced life, and now, our campus is taking a bold step forward. We would like to welcome Rebels CU, a new on-campus financial institution dedicated to empowering students, faculty, and staff with the tools and resources they need to thrive financially. In late 2025, the Rebels CU branch will open in the UNLV Institute for Financial Literacy and Wellness, but you may already see them around campus at various events and activities.

Rebels CU will offer accessible banking services, financial education programs, and personalized support. All designed with the university community in mind. Whether you're opening your first savings account, managing student loans, or planning for retirement, Rebels CU will be a trusted partner on your financial journey.

Financial literacy is more than just budgeting or saving. It’s about reducing stress, making informed decisions, and building a secure future. The UNLV Health and Wellness Program encourages everyone to view financial wellness as an essential part of overall well-being. With Rebels CU joining our campus, we’re making it easier than ever to take control of your financial health.

Let’s celebrate this exciting addition to our campus and commit to a financially resilient future together. For more information on what Rebels CU has to offer, visit Rebel CU
