About

Our Vision

We’re a member-owned, caring provider of financial services, committed to helping the people of the Lehigh Valley and beyond to improve their lives and secure a better future.

Our Mission

As a member-owned, not-for-profit financial institution, People First’s mission is to provide the highest quality of financial services in a friendly, convenient, personalized atmosphere. The credit union will operate in a financially sound and competitive manner to ensure long-term financial stability while safeguarding members’ assets. These financial services will be provided by the credit union staff under the direction of the volunteer officials.

NOT FOR PROFIT. MEMBER OWNED.

We’re a federally chartered and insured credit union that has been serving the Lehigh Valley since 1950. If you reside in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio, or West Virginia you can benefit from being a member. We offer a wide array of personal and business banking products and services at highly competitive rates and with low or no fees.

WHAT’S THE CREDIT UNION DIFFERENCE?

Like all credit unions, we’re a not-for-profit financial cooperative. The credit union is owned and controlled by members, people like you who have accounts with us. You know what’s great about being a credit union member? You’re actually an owner. This means that instead of turning profits over to stockholders, like a commercial bank, we give them back to you, in the form of higher savings rates, lower loan rates, fewer fees and more free services. Because for us, it’s all about doing right by you with a higher level of personal service and added convenience.

THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY AND ULTIMATE CONVENIENCE

You’ll have easy access to your accounts 24/7/365 through all the latest technology, including online, mobile and phone banking, automatic bill payer, online loan and account applications and much more. And if you need in-person service, we have seven conveniently located branches throughout the Lehigh Valley, in Allentown, Bethlehem, Nazareth, Trexlertown, and Whitehall. We also have Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) throughout the area to serve you 24 hours a day.

SAFE AND SECURE. THAT’S WHAT TO EXPECT FROM YOUR CREDIT UNION.

Credit unions serve groups that share something in common. In our case, that’s everyone in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio, and West Virginia.

People First is a federally chartered credit union insured by the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF), which is administered by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), an agency of the federal government. Your deposits are insured up to at least $250,000.
