SERVING OUR MEMBERS WITH PRIDE AND
COMMITMENT
"Not for Profit, not for charity,
but for service!"
WHO
WE ARE
Established in 1941, Peninsula Federal
Credit Union has grown from 231 members to over 9,000 members with assets
in excess of $80 million.
Founded as an occupational credit union we
began as the Escanaba Paper Company Employees Federal Credit Union. The
name changed to Mead Associated Federal Credit Union in 1984 to more
accurately reflect the name of our sponsor. In July 2000 the credit union
changed from an occupational to a community charter. We are now able to
offer membership to all persons living or working in Delta, Menominee or
Schoolcraft counties. In line with the charter change, and to
provide a broader representation of our membership base, the name also was
changed to Peninsula Federal Credit Union. Although the credit union
of today has significantly changed from that of 1941, the concept of
member ownership and people helping people has not changed.
The Board of Directors, which is elected by
and from the membership is responsible for establishing policies and
guidelines. The daily operation of the credit union is handled in
accordance with all state and federal regulations by our professional
staff.
Our field of membership is limited to the
following:
- Persons who live, work, worship, or
attend school in, or businesses and other legal entities located in
Delta, Menominee, and Schoolcraft Counties, Michigan;
- Members of record of this credit union
as of July 5,2000 date of conversion to a community field of
membership;
- Spouses of persons who died while
within the field of membership of this credit union;
- Employees of this credit union;
- Volunteers in the community;
- Members of the immediate family or
household;
- Organizations of such persons.
Once eligibility has been established, our
basic membership requirement is to simply start your account with $5.00.
That $5.00 must stay in your account for as long as you are a member. Once
you become a member, you are a lifetime member.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT
PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT
To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering
activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain,
verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens
an account. This application should be filled out by a parent of any
child under the age of 13.
What this means for you: When you open an account, we will ask for
your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will
allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver's license
or other identifying documents.
