First Pioneers FCU

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.

Some of the most important life skills are things people are expected to figure out on their own. That’s why First Pioneers FCU is excited to launch our new Life Skills Workshop Series, starting with our first session on June 25th from 4 PM - 6 PM at the Greater Iberia Chamber of Commerce!

During this first workshop, we’ll talk through real-world topics like education and training opportunities, paying for school, understanding the cost of working, and ways to improve your resume and interview skills.

Whether you’re planning for your future, entering the workforce, or simply looking to learn something new, this series is designed to help you feel more prepared and confident.

Additional sessions in the series will continue on July 9, July 23, and August 6, each covering new topics to help build your life skills step by step.

Your home can do more than provide a place to live, it can also be a tool to help you reach your financial goals.

A home equity loan allows you to borrow a lump sum of money using the equity you’ve built in your home as collateral. It’s often used for things like home improvements, debt consolidation, or major expenses, with a fixed repayment plan to help keep budgeting simple.

Have questions about how it works or if it’s the right fit for you? Our team is here to help you understand your options every step of the way.
