Pheple Federal Credit Union Expands Membership Eligibility to Better Serve the Western PA Community

We at Pheple Federal Credit Union are excited to announce the expansion of our field of membership, making it easier for members of the Western PA community to join us and access a comprehensive range of banking services. Effective immediately, anyone who lives, works, worships, or attends school in Allegheny, Armstrong, Fayette, Westmoreland, or Washington counties is now eligible to become a member of Pheple FCU.

Our mission is clear: "We are dedicated to the financial wellbeing of our community." This expansion aligns with our commitment to providing financial services to all members of our community, particularly those in underserved populations and areas. We believe that everyone deserves access to quality financial products and services, and we are proud to offer a full suite of banking options enhanced by cutting-edge technology.

“Our expansion is a significant step in our ongoing effort to empower more individuals and families in our community,” says Maria A. LaVelle, our Chief Executive Officer. “By welcoming more members, we can better fulfill our mission of supporting financial wellness and enhancing the quality of life in the regions we serve. We are committed to supporting underserved and underbanked communities with empathy, respect, and an unwavering non-judgmental approach.”

In 2024 alone, we have demonstrated our deep commitment to community engagement by donating over 600 employee volunteer hours and over $27,000 to initiatives focused on financial wellness, community partnerships, and diversity, equity, and inclusion. These efforts reflect our dedication to building a stronger and more financially inclusive community.

As a member-owned credit union, we provide personalized service, competitive rates, and a focus on the financial health of our members. Our cutting-edge technology options ensure that banking is accessible and tailored to the needs of the community. With a convenient online membership opening process, user-driven digital services, and a nationwide ATM and shared branch network, members from across our new expanded footprint can expect the care and attention of a community credit union combined with the accessibility of a large financial institution.
