Credit unions are not-for-profit organizations that exist to serve their members. Like banks, credit unions accept deposits, make loans and provide a wide array of other financial services.

As a member-owned and cooperative institution, a credit union provides a safe and sound place to save and borrow at reasonable rates with your best interest at heart.

With origins dating back to the 1950's, PFCU is a member-owned financial institution with offices in Morton Grove, Barrington, Des Plaines, Evanston, and Franklin Park.

We remain dedicated to maintaining close, personable relationships with our members while delivering the best possible products and services.

Along with CEO Mary Ann Pusateri' s long tenure of over 35 years, PFCU has many team members with over 20 years of service.

We strive to help our members achieve their financial goals. Because we're not a bank, we don't drive up profits. Instead, we focus on driving up member satisfaction through our, low loan rates, high deposit rates and low or no fee products and services.
