Why Join?

In today's uncertain times, financial experts are recommending credit union membership as a sensible alternative to big banks like never before, and for good reason. As a not-for-profit financial co-operative governed by a volunteer Board of Directors and owned by our members, everything over operating expenses is returned to you in the form of lower rates on loans or higher rates on savings accounts, in addition to lower and fewer fees. We are beholden to our members and volunteer board, not stockholders. Credit unions did not take any federal bailout money.

There are many facets to PFCU membership. We've been serving our community for 75 years and are the diamond standard even among credit unions. But don't take our word for it. We have earned 5 Stars (highest rating) from Bauer Financial and www.creditcardconnection.org where we are on the Dean's List. We've also received the highest score on our federal audit and are very well-capitalized, even in today's economy. By becoming a member of Pasadena Federal Credit Union, you'll join thousands of satisfied members and open the door to a full range of traditional and innovative financial products and services. We offer products at competitive rates and with fewer fees than other financial institutions.

Your money is VERY safe at PFCU. In addition to our high audit scores we offer the peace of mind of federal insurance through the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) up to $250,000 and an additional $250,000 in private insurance from American Share Insurance (ASI) Check our Insurance Tab above for all the details.

We're also more convenient than you might think.
