Our History

On July 22, 1930, 44 employees of the Orlando Post Office formed together to found Central Florida Postal Credit Union. The credit union was led by Harold F. Anderson, one of the founding members and also the credit union’s first president.

Many financial institutions have merged, changed or even disappeared over the course of their existence, but Priority Credit Union (PCU), formerly known as, Central Florida Postal Credit Union can pride itself in staying true to the credit union concept. The “benefit” of competitive rates for investing and lending are still the main focus to assist in building a better financial foundation for its members. 

The mission of PCU is: “To foster the growth of our employees and, as a team, deliver financial advice and products to the people of our community for each stage of their lives” and with years of history combined with a bright future the delivery of dreams seems to continue. The first president, Harold F. Anderson said in an interview on the opening date in 1930: “This organization has a fine start and should be a great help to the employees of the…post office”. 89 years have passed and PCU is experiencing a “fine” start and with no intentions of reaching the finish line within the next 100 years…

Priority Credit Union was founded in 1930 by a small group of postal employees.  PCU is the oldest credit union in the Central Florida area. Our credit union was founded and still exists today to provide a reliable place to save and borrow finances.

Priority Credit Union recently opened its doors to welcome not only postal employees but postal customers as well.
