Bank Overview

PSECU started in 1934 with 22 founders who pooled their money together to find a better future for their families. We are Pennsylvania’s largest employee based credit union and can proudly say that we have offered over 600 financial literacy classes to our community and state, educating nearly 20,000 people about banking and money.

Recently, we helped make a $25,000 donation to Feeding Pennsylvania to support state food banks as people struggled with unemployment and hunger at the height of the COVID pandemic. PSECU members also showed their generosity by donating over $44,000 themselves. We are humbled by our members!

We also hold a yearly vote, often on Facebook, to decide which of our community organizations to give an extra donation. The $2,200 amount selected honors the original 22 members who founded and collected their funds together to make their community a better place. We let our community decide where this money should go, and let them chose from several local non profits who make differences in the lives of our community members.

Becoming a member is easy, and you can probably become a member. Just ask or call us and we will help get you access to our low to no monthly fee accounts. We believe that our community comes first and we like to show it by letting you keep your own money.
