I am proud that such a significant percentage of our team members have invested their time and energy into this program, and we look forward to increasing those numbers as we continue to grow.”
“The Credit Union Difference: CU Principles & Philosophies” program educates PSCU employees about credit unions, their history and what makes them unique from other financial institutions.
