At PSECU, we strive every day to provide you, our members, with the best financial products and services possible to meet members’ needs. Our members are at the forefront of our daily actions and decisions, which is why we were especially honored to be included in Forbes’ list of America’s best credit unions in each state, a designation that is driven by consumer insight. 

According to Forbes, there are more than 5,000 credit unions with 117 million members nationwide. Out of these 5,000 credit unions, only 182 were named by Forbes as a Best-in-State credit union.

So, what made PSECU stand out? Scoring from this customer-focused survey was based on feedback from five areas – trust, terms and conditions, branch services, digital services, and financial advice. Read on to learn more about PSECU’s services in two of these key areas that led consumers to rank us in the top 3.3% of credit unions nationwide. 

Digital Services that Help You Manage Your Money on the Go

As a digital-first credit union, our goal is to make banking easy for you. We offer anytime, anywhere digital banking options that favor technology-based solutions over physical branch locations. It allows us to maximize the value we provide to you by cutting costs that would be spent building and maintaining branches. Additionally, it allows us to better serve you with digital solutions that fit your busy schedule.

Most of our convenient digital services can be accessed through the PSECU mobile app. This app allows you to manage your money when and where it’s convenient for you, right from your compatible smart device.
