better alternatives to managing their money. U. S. Postal Service Federal Credit
Union offers you an option. You can choose to eliminate high-interest loans and
high fees by choosing to join our Credit Union. U. S. Postal Service Federal

financial services, lower interest rates for loans, and higher yield investment

of Credit Union benefits.
What Is A Credit Union?
The credit union cooperative concept originated in Germany during the mid-1800s.
A group of farmers, tired of high prices and outrageous interest rates, combined
their money to buy supplies and establish a common pool for members to borrow
from at lower interest rates. Today's "credit unions" are similar. A credit
union is a member-owned and not-for-profit financial cooperative. Deposits
provide money for members who need loans. Members usually earn higher dividends
on savings and pay lower interest rates on loans. Currently, there are over
11,700 credit unions in the United States with more than 74,000,000 members.
Although credit unions have changed over the years to meet the demands of their
members, our long-standing philosophy of "People Helping People" has remained
the same. USPS FCU is part of a long-standing tradition in personal financial
management. USPS FCU has been serving its members since 1934 when it was founded
to serve employees of the U. S. Postal Service. We now serve over 23,300
members. Our membership also includes members from several Select Groups (SG).
