Why Join PPCU?
We're Member Owned
Welcome to Pacific Postal Credit Union, where you're more than just a customer. You're a member. We are a full-service financial institution with all the time-saving services modern technology has made possible. But we offer our members something more: a commitment to personal service that always takes the extra step, and never forgets that the reason we're here is people - like you.
We're Competitive
As a credit union, we are, by definition, a not-for-profit, member-owned, financial cooperative where members enjoy loan rates that are typically lower than banks and other financial institutions. Higher savings rates, too. And, as a member, you'll also enjoy significant savings by avoiding the high fees and deposit requirements that are common to banks.
We're Easy to Join
The following persons are eligible to join.
- All persons who live, work, worship or go to school in Santa Clara County.

It's easy to join. Just take a few minutes to fill out and submit membership application. A minimum deposit of $50.00 into a regular share account, and a $5.00 membership fee is required to open an account which you can fund online. That's all there is to it.
We're Federally Insured
Your accounts are safe, secure and insured for at least $250,000 by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), an agency of the federal government. Person Retirement Accounts are insured for an additional $250,000.
