Select Employer Group FAQs

What is a SEG?

A Select Employer Group is a business partner of People First FCU that secures credit union membership eligibility for its employees.

How long will it take my organization to become a People First SEG partner?

Once People First has received the completed partner application, your request will be sent to the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) for approval. Upon receiving a positive confirmation from the NCUA, we will notify you that individuals in your group are immediately eligible to become members of People First.

Is my organization too small or too big to become a People First SEG partner?

People First’s SEG partners range in size from small businesses to large organizations.

Why does my partner application need to be approved by the NCUA?

People First is federally chartered by the NCUA to serve groups with a common bond such as businesses, associations, and schools. The NCUA reviews all Select Employer Group requests to ensure the applying organization meets the criteria defined in the credit union’s charter.
