Members Received Rebate for 2023 Loans!

Our Board of Directors is saying "Thank you" to our members - once again - for trusting PAFCU with their consumer loan in 2023.

To show our gratitude for their loyalty, members with a vehicle or signature loan in 2023 received a cash deposit into their PAFCU share account on December 18. Qualified members* received up to $800 just for supporting the only credit union serving Metro Detroit Polonia.

We know many competitors are always asking for your business. Yet the members have shown support for the credit union. In turn, we can help support members with great rates while donating to local non-profit organizations in the Polish community.

We're thrilled to reward this loyalty with a cash rebate for the sixth consecutive year!

*The rebate amount members receive depends on the number of months the loan was active during 2023. This rebate is not guaranteed to continue. The credit union will consider the offer again if PAFCU performs as well in 2024. Any member who was delinquent with payment in 2023 or caused the credit union a loss is not eligible for this rebate. Mortgages, home equity loans/lines, and credit card loans are not included.

Your Funds Are Safe and Secure at PAFCU

Despite the news about a few bank failures, Polish-American Federal Credit Union members should understand that their money is safe and secure.

PAFCU is federally insured by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), the government agency constantly monitoring and regulating all federal credit unions.

Your funds are insured for up to $250,000 per person. PAFCU is also a well-capitalized credit union, regularly examined and audited for financial safety.

Though the national news about the banking industry has recently been in the headlines, members should be assured that their funds are safe and secure with PAFCU.

 

PAFCU Sends Over $63,000 to Help Ukrainian Refugees in Poland

Over $63,000 has been raised to aid Ukrainian refugees in Poland following a fundraiser through Polish-American Federal Credit Union (PAFCU).

PAFCU has matched all donations from public contributions for this growing humanitarian cause. Funds are being sent directly to the Polish Red Cross.

Over 2.6 million Ukrainian refugees have sought refuge in Poland since the Russian invasion of Ukraine in March 2022.

“The community is generously answering the call beyond our expectations,” PAFCU President John Swidwinski said. “Poles know first-hand the devastation of war, and we certainly empathize with the plight of all Ukrainians.”

PAFCU has a legacy of reaching out to organizations in need, yet this is the most significant financial contribution in PAFCU’s 46-year history.

“The Ukrainian refugee situation in Poland is dire, and we are proud to be a catalyst to help. As long as there is a need, the credit union will continue to accept donations,” said Swidwinski.

Please see the video on our home page capturing this special event.
