BECOME A MEMBER FAQs

Why make the switch to People First?

Local service. More options. People you know from your neighborhood, school, church, clubs, and your kid’s sports teams work there. Fast loan decisions. Competitive rates. Convenient locations. Electronic services and so many other great things too numerous to mention. Trust your instincts about becoming a credit union member. It is the right thing to do.

What is the minimum deposit to open a savings account?

A $5 minimum opening deposit and balance in a Primary Share Account is required. Then, you’re free to apply for all our other products and services.

What’s different about People First?

People First is member owned. That means we don’t have to pay out big dividends to stockholders – we don’t have any. We don’t have out-of-state or foreign investors. We’re locally owned and operated by people just like you. And we know the Lehigh Valley. We’ve been around since 1950. We’re an active participant in community activities and charitable events and are always on the move to help improve the quality of life in our region.

As a member, you own us. Everything comes back to you in the form of better savings dividends (interest) and lower loan rates. When you make your initial deposit into your savings account, it isn’t a membership fee. It’s your money that stays in your account.

Can my family join People First?

If your family lives in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio, or West Virginia they are eligible to join. Additional details can be found on our Membership Eligibility page.
