"We have entrusted our financial dealings with Progressions Credit Union for over twenty five years. We opened our first accounts when Brian was a casual-hire letter carrier and maintained our relationship with PCU through his entire career. We are retired now and living in Chicxulub, Yucatan, Mexico, which comes with its' own unique set of issues when dealing with everyday finances. Almost every employee at the Mission Ave. branch knows us by voice recognition, from Shannon and Dionne on the teller line, to Barb, Loretta and Hanna in various other parts of the credit union. They have all helped us with everything from wire transfers for a new car here in Mexico, to everyday inquiries about activity on our accounts. The people that PCU calls employees are more than that. They are the lifeblood of the institution and their efforts and exemplary customer service are what make PCU such an incredible place with which to entrust our money and other financial services."
*Limits could be lower based on your income and other restrictions may apply. Consult with a Tax Advisor for more information on the best option for you, then contact us to open your IRA or to rollover an existing plan held with another financial institution.
