Everyone Benefits with Priority One Membership!

Your company benefits.
You can enhance your company's employee benefits at no cost to you through Priority One Credit Union. In fact, most Fortune 500 companies consider credit union membership a very important benefit for employees.

How will your employees benefit?
The credit union is a not-for-profit financial cooperation owned by its members. Because there are no stockholders, we return profits to members through lower loan rates, higher savings returns, and lower and fewer fees.

Originally founded in 1926 as a postal employee credit union, Priority One has extended its charter to offer membership to many companies and residents of local communities as well. Your employees will benefit from over eight decades of financial experience and professional, friendly service. And, when your employees join Priority One, their family members are immediately eligible for membership benefits as well.

The credit union has over $163 million in assets and currently serves over 27,000 members. We have received a superior five-star rating from Bauer Financial Reports, Inc., the nation's leading primary financial institution research firm. This confirms our safety and soundness of operations.

Priority One has a vast array of products and services for you and your employees, ranging from high-yield investments to loans for just about everything. We understand the importance of convenient account access and offer ATM networks, free Visa DebitCards, free online banking and bill pay, 24-hour loan applications, 24-hour account access by phone and more. Plus, we believe in the personal touch and quick responses to our members' needs and requests.


Currently, over 60 Select Employer Groups are providing our benefits to their employees. If you would like a list of these companies, please let us know.

Our promise to our members is paramount: "You are our first priority."

Here's How You Start

This letter should then be sent to William E. Harris, our President and Chief Executive Officer. Once your request is accepted, your employees may join immediately and begin enjoying the benefits of Priority One membership. There is no cost to you or your company to add this employee benefit. Please complete an Information Request as well and e-mail it to us for our files.

Once you are approved to offer membership, a credit union representative will come to your company to answer questions, take membership and loan applications, and set up convenient access services for your employees-all with a warm smile and friendly, professional service.
