Our History
On May 16, 1928 at 1:30 pm at Trenton, New Jersey, the Postal Employees’ Credit Union received its certificated of incorporation. The trustees of said corporations are seven in number and the names of the trustees for the first year were:
- C. F. Reed
- Wesley Evans
- Walter A. Lee
- J. Herbert Fisher
- George F Ammann
- Thomas MacQueen
- Walter D. Blatchford
That was the beginning of a long journey to success. Over 70 years later the credit union is alive and prospering as the oldest independent credit union in the state of New Jersey.
The Postal Employees’ Credit Union was established in 1928 as a state chartered credit union to serve the financial needs of federal employees working in the 085XX or 086XX zip code areas. Our members are our owners, of which we have approximately 2,400. The membership is represented by seven currently employed postal employees who direct the operation of the credit union for the benefit of the membership. Through their guidance, the credit union has grown and provides a full array of quality financial services for the membership. The credit union is also one of the “SAFEST” credit unions nationally, winning 62 consecutive five-star ratings from the Bauer Financial Reports, Inc. of Coral Gables, Florida, the nations leading independent banking research firm. Also, your credit union deposits are federally insured for up to $250,000 by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) a U.S. government agency for your protection.
