Family and Friends Referral

How do I refer a friend to People Driven Credit Union?

You earn $25, and your friend earns $50. Many members ask how to refer a friend to People Driven Credit Union, as they want to earn cash rewards while helping someone they care about join our credit union.

Family and Friends Referral

First, you earn $25 when your friend or family member opens a new checking account and qualifies it. Next, your friend earns $50. So both of you receive cash rewards directly into your accounts after we verify everything.

What Your Friend Must Do

Your friend must open a new checking account and add one of these qualifying services: Direct Deposit, a Loan, or a Credit Card. Because we also require a $5 Share Savings account to establish membership, they complete everything in one step.

How to Make a Referral

You make the referral by phone or in-branch when your friend opens the account. Call us or bring them to any branch so we can process the referral right away. Therefore, the rewards are posted quickly after they qualify.

Important Information

We report the rewards as interest income on IRS Form 1099-INT. Additionally, restrictions apply, and the program may change or end at any time. We do not allow existing members to open extra accounts for rewards.
