PCU certified as the “REAL Deal”

PCU recently received certification as a “REAL Deal” credit union. The REAL Deal program recognizes credit unions that provide exemplary service to members and exemplify the credit union philosophy of “people helping people” in the communities they serve.

This nationwide recognition program provides a uniform and consistent framework for credit unions to summarize and evaluate their innovative programs and outreach activities.

“When selecting a financial partner, it’s important for consumers to know that PCU is an active participant in our local community,” said PCU President Russ Plunkett. “As a part of our everyday business strategy, we help members obtain loans, provide financial education, and continue to strengthen partnerships with other local organizations.”

The REAL Deal program recognizes PCU’s service in the areas of outreach, education and community activities. Among these efforts are annual first-time homebuyers’ seminars, financial literacy programs in local schools, frequent fundraising activities, volunteer opportunities in the community and more.

“’People helping people’ is more than just a philosophy for PCU – it’s what we do every day, and it goes beyond offering affordable financial services,” Plunkett said. “By actively supporting our communities, we help improve the quality of life for all residents. We believe this is what sets us apart from other financial institutions.”
