What does it mean to "be a member" or "join" a credit union?

When you join PSECU, you’re more than just a customer—you're a member-owner of a not-for-profit financial cooperative. Guided by a commitment to the "people helping people" philosophy, PSECU focuses on returning value to its members with lower fees and personalized service, unlike traditional banks that prioritize stockholder profits. As part of our commitment to financial wellness, we offer a range of free resources to help members thrive financially.

Alumni, Friends + Fans

We're the credit union for Penn Staters and offer Blue & White Banking so you can show your Nittany Lion pride. As The Official Financial Services Provider of the Penn State Alumni Association, we keep checking simple with no monthly fees, no complicated rules, and no hidden charges.

Plus, when you join PSECU, the Penn State Alumni Association benefits, too. We'll pay your first year of Penn State Alumni Association membership dues if you're not yet a member of the association. Because we're the credit union for all Penn Staters, this offer is extended to fans, too!
