How
Do I Become A Member of PFFCU?
Any active or retired Philadelphia police officer or firefighter
is eligible to become
a member of the credit union. Once you become a member, any member
of your family may also join. Family members include:
parents, grandparents, sisters, brothers and children of the member.
Best of all, a Police and Fire Federal Credit Union membership lasts
a lifetime.
PFFCU’s membership eligibility may be offered to other
employee groups and other select
associations and organizations. If your employer
or organization is not currently listed, please contact one of our
Business
Development Managers about membership. For information about
why your group or organization should offer membership in PFFCU as
a FREE benefit, please see the “PFFCU Membership For Your Organization” section
below.

PFFCU Membership For Your Organization
Employers and organizations
can give their employees and members access to PFFCU as part of
their benefits package. And, unlike most benefits, offering PFFCU
membership is FREE! It's an easy and effective way to enhance your
existing employee benefits package at no additional
expense.
If your organization is interested in offering membership as
an employee benefit, please contact
one of our Business Development Managers to request information
or schedule a time for us to visit you.
To become a PFFCU Partner Organization, simply send us a letter
indicating your interest in offering credit union membership. For
your convenience, a
template of this letter is available online. This letter should
be printed on your organization's letterhead, and signed by someone
authorized to make employee benefits decisions, such as a benefits
manager, human resources manager, etc.
Customer Identification Program (CIP)
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW
ACCOUNT
To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities,
Federal Law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record
information that identifies each person who opens an account.
What this means for you: When you open an account,
PFFCU will ask for your name, address, date of birth and other
information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask
to see your driver’s license and other identifying documents.
*Please note that a minimum deposit of $5.00 into
an S1 Savings Account is required to open your account, and must
remain in your account at all times. The S25 (Premium Yield Account)
requires a minimum balance of $2,500 to earn dividends.
