Frequently Asked Questions

What can we help you with today? 

Yes, at People’s Credit Union your deposits are insured. Federally chartered credit unions are regulated by the National Credit Union Administration and insured by the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF), which is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government. Established by Congress in 1970 to insure member share accounts at federally insured credit unions, NCUSIF is similar to deposit insurance coverage provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. For more information on how your deposits are insured please visit https://www.mycreditunion.gov/share-insurance

If you are an existing member, you can open an additional deposit account through your online banking profile. Once you log in navigate to the Open an Account tab and follow the flow to complete the account opening process. Your new account can be funded with either an existing People’s Account or a linked external account.

To access your statements online for downloading or printing, you would sign into your online banking profile on a desktop or laptop to access the full site. Once logged in, you would navigate to the “Accounts” header and select “Statements & eDocuments”. Once on that page, you would select the desired account and follow the prompts to enroll in estatements or to view your statement if previously enrolled.

To remove a signer from your account you can visit us at one of our six convenient locations.

A signer can only be removed from a joint personal account in the event the signer has passed away. We must be provided with an original death certificate to proceed with this request.

If you are seeking to remove a joint owner/signer from a personal account other than in the above scenario, the account must be closed and a new account opened. This is to ensure that the removed owner/signer no longer has access to the account number, checks, or other access devices.

Business members may add or remove authorized signers as needed with proper documentation.
