People Driven Credit Union Membership and Account Options

people driven credit union loans

People Driven Credit Union’s roots in Detroit date back to 1928 when it was founded as a safe harbor during a time of financial crisis. Today, we remain committed to providing a secure and supportive experience to our members throughout Michigan. As we look towards our second century of doing business, we plan to grow right along with you, your family, and your small business!

Save to Win® + Round Up to Win

Build Your Savings (and Get Chances to Win Cash Prizes)

Saving money is a good habit. It’s also… not exactly a thrill ride. Save to Win® rewards the habit of saving with chances to win cash prizes—without putting your savings at risk.

When you build your balance in qualifying increments, you earn entries into monthly, quarterly, and annual prize drawings. For the Save to Win® Savings Account, entries are earned for every $25 increase in your balance (up to 100 entries per month).

And yes—your savings are still your savings. There’s no fee to participate, and your money isn’t “spent” to enter.

People Driven Credit Union savings are federally insured to at least $250,000 by the NCUA and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government. Rates are effective as of today and are subject to change at any time. Penalties apply for early withdrawal. View our Privacy Policy and read our disclaimer regarding links to other sites.

²APY = Annual Percentage Yield. APY is a standardized measure of the total interest earned on a deposit account over one year, based on the interest rate and the frequency of compounding.

¹Special Loan Rate Discount: You can benefit from a 0.25% rate reduction simply by enrolling in our AutoPay service. This discount is already reflected in the “as low as” rate we advertise. To qualify, you must have Direct Deposit (from payroll, Social Security, or retirement income) and AutoPay set up from a People Driven Credit Union checking or savings account.

*APR = Annual Percentage Rate. Your actual APR and loan terms depend on credit approval and may vary based on creditworthiness, loan amount, and collateral type, value, age, and condition, if applicable. All rates are current as of today but are subject to change without notice.

Payment Example: Borrowing $1,000 at 6.55% APR for 60 months would result in monthly payments of approximately $20.00.
