First Pioneers FCU

Directions Website

First Pioneers FCU We are a full service financial institution committed to caring for members’ financial needs with heart.

First Pioneers FCU was chartered in 1949 by the employees of AT&T. These forward looking people saw an opportunity to provide for individual thrift, mutual savings and access to low cost loans. Running a credit union meant pooling common savings through payroll deduction, then lending it to members. Pricing of loans and savings was relatively simple; the credit union paid 6% on savings and charged 12% on loans. At first, savings and loans were the only services offered. Once these services were deregulated, additional services were gradually added to include CDs, IRAs, Visa credit cards and ATM/debit cards. In the mid 80s the credit union’s Board of Directors wisely anticipated the impact of communications deregulation, and began adding additional selected employee groups to the credit union’s membership. Lafayette Woodworks was the first non-telephone SEG to be added, followed by Stuller Setting. Today, First Pioneers FCU is a full service financial institution servicing 70 SEGs.

Life doesn’t always go according to plan, but your savings can help you feel more prepared when the unexpected happens. 💰

From car repairs and home expenses to other surprise costs, building an emergency fund can give you a financial cushion when you need it most.

You don’t have to save it all at once, either. Start small, stay consistent, and build from there. Every little bit can make a difference. ❤️

With the holidays approaching, a new credit card might seem like an easy way to cover extra expenses—but applying for multiple cards could do more harm than good. 💳⚠️

Each credit card application may result in a hard inquiry on your credit report, which can impact your credit score. And when applications start adding up, so can the potential effects on your credit.

Before applying, take a look at your holiday budget, consider what you can comfortably afford, and be intentional about taking on new credit.

A little planning now can help you head into the holidays, and the new year, with greater financial confidence. ❤️
