POECU Owner Insights: March 2026

March 2026

MESSAGE FROM THE CEO

March has certainly snuck up on us, hasn't it? Have you noticed that we have been re-defining "Credit Union"? POECU is so much more than a place to do your financial transactions; we're part of the action in your life! Instead of banking, you're Credit Unioning and with us, you'll experience the difference!

Have you heard about our "How Do You Credit Union? I Drive It" promotion? For a limited time, every newly approved auto loan receives a 1.25% APR Discount. So what are you waiting for? Stop shopping for a car, and DRIVE IT today!

In this edition also see How We Credit Union by Passing It On. The next generation of POECU Member Owners can already benefit even while still in school. So don't just credit union for yourself, PASS It ON to the kids, grandkids and the kids of your family, neighbors and co-workers too!

At POECU, "credit union" is not a place,

It's for all the ways you LIVE!

Have you seen our cool new ad? Start Credit Unioning!

How do you Credit Union? I PASS IT On!

As Member-Owners know how great POECU is and it's important we PASS IT ON to the next generation...and the one after that...and the one after that.

Do you know all the ways that we ensure the next generation benefits from everything POECU has to offer? Click each benefit below for the full scoop.

SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION

Do you have a GRADUATE in the family? We have a $1500 scholarship burning a hole in our pockets! Our Scholarship is open to anyone headed off to College, Tech School or Trade School. Review the qualifications and apply by April 19th.

SCHOOL TUITION

Private schools are pricey and they're already asking for next year's tuition. Don't fret, we'll write the check to the school and you get 12 months to pay! (Our tuition loan has even lower rates than our standard personal loan!)

YOUTH ACCOUNTS

Your direct descendants are automatically eligible to open a Youth Account, so start their savings journey today! Our Learn & Earn Rewards program debuts in time for year-end report cards, to help them build their savings by earning A's.

PERSONAL LOANS

Personal Loans can be used for anything you choose so whether it's Summer Camp for them or Summer Fun for you, you can do it all this Summer!

A lot's been happening. In Case You Missed It...
