To request a credit limit increase please fill out a new credit card application, and a loan officer will work to increase the limit on your existing card.

Mortgage rates are determined by the Wall Street Prime rates. When the economic outlook is good, rates tend to increase, and rates fall when it’s not so great. It seems somewhat backward, but here’s the reasoning: When the economy is doing well, borrowers can afford more. This affects the market for mortgages, which results in slightly rising rates. Conversely, when the economy declines and unemployment rates increase, interest rates fall to make it more affordable for borrowers to take out loans.

For our most current mortgage rates, visit our Rates page.

A Fixed Home Equity Loan provides you with a fixed amount of money. You repay the loan with equal monthly payments for a fixed period of time—similar to a mortgage payment.

Visit our Home Equity Loans page for more information. 

Based on the value of your home’s equity, we will help determine how much you can borrow. During the draw period, you can advance money as you need it. As you pay off the principle, your available balance is restored, allowing you to use it again. Unlike a fixed-rate loan, you only pay on the balance owed, providing flexibility to use as little or as much as you need.

The IBAN varies by country/institution and does not replace your account number.

An IBAN is required for beneficiary accounts in Europe and other countries around the world.

Planning on traveling or shopping abroad?

If you’re preparing to travel out of the country and intend to use your PFCU Visa credit or debit card, please be sure to notify us as soon as possible when you’ll be traveling and where so we can ensure that all your transactions follow your itinerary and that you have access to your funds.

If you write a check and do not have enough money in your account by the time the check clears, the check will be returned to the payee (i.e. “bounced”). Providence Federal Credit Union assesses a Non-Sufficient Funds (NSF) fee in these instances.

Please refer to our up-to-date Fee Schedule for exact pricing.

Yes, however, there is a penalty for withdrawing from your certificate account early:

Your Certificate account will mature on the maturity date set forth on your Account Receipt or Renewal Notice. We may impose a penalty if you withdraw any of the principal of your Certificate before the maturity date. (1) Amount of Penalty. The amount of the early withdrawal penalty is 90 days dividends calculated on the balance at the time of withdrawal. (2) How the Penalty Works. The penalty is calculated as a forfeiture of part of the dividends that has been or would be earned at the nominal dividend rate on the account. It applies whether or not the dividends have been earned. In other words, if the account has not yet earned enough dividends or if the dividends have already been paid, the penalty will be deducted from the principal. (3) Exceptions to Early Withdrawal Penalties. At our option, we may pay the account before maturity without imposing an early withdrawal penalty under the following circumstances: When an account owner dies or is determined legally incompetent by a court or other body of competent jurisdiction. Certificate accounts are automatically renewable accounts. Automatically renewable accounts will renew for another term upon maturity. You have a grace period of seven (7) days after maturity in which to withdraw funds in the account without being charged an early withdrawal penalty. Your account is nontransferable and nonnegotiable. The funds in your account may not be pledged to secure any obligation of an owner, except obligations with the Credit Union.

An escrow account is established as a convenient way to manage property taxes and insurance for your home. Sometimes referred to as an “impound account”, escrow accounts allow you to make one monthly payment, instead of paying individual bills when they are due.

A portion of your monthly mortgage payment goes directly to your mortgage (principal and interest) and the remainder is allocated to your escrow account to cover property taxes and insurance. When the individual bills are due, your lender will pay them with funds from your escrow account.

To enroll in Online Banking you will need:

To make a purchase with Samsung Pay, follow the steps below: 

1. Open the Samsung Pay app on your phone
2. Click Pay and choose which card you would like to use
3. Select PIN or IRIS and then enter any required information to ensure your security. If you have fingerprint security set up, you can pay by placing your finger on your phone’s fingerprint scanner.
4. Hold the back of your phone up to the contactless reader and follow the prompts to complete your purchase.

And that’s it! You’ve successfully completed your first Samsung Pay transaction!

Visit our Mobile Wallet page for more information.

Samsung Pay uses two technologies that allow the solution to work almost anywhere: 

1. Near-field communication (NFC) technology allows your phone to connect with contactless terminals for tap-to-pay transactions
2. Magnetic secure transmission (MST) can be used with older terminals at which you would typically have to swipe a card. Your phone equipped with Samsung Pay emits a magnetic signal to simulate the magnetic strip found on the back of a credit or debit card when you hold the phone against one of these readers.

Your actual Providence Federal Credit Union card number is never used in Samsung Pay transactions making this solution more secure than a regular plastic card transaction.

Visit our Mobile Wallet page for more information.

When using Online Bill Pay, a paper check will only be sent if the recipient’s account cannot receive electronic transfers. If your recipient has received a paper check from your online bill payment, they may deposit it as they would any normal check.

Yes, but messaging and data rates may apply depending on your plan. Check with your carrier for details. You do not need to be connected to the internet to use Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Samsung Pay in-store.

We have a video that will show you how to use the ITM. Check it out!

Instead of transmitting your actual credit or debit card number at the register, Google Pay creates a unique and encrypted number along with a dynamic, one-time security code or cryptogram to process your payment. Merchants will not see your name or have access to your actual card number; further protecting your account information. 

Visit our Mobile Wallet page for more information.

Yes! Instead of using your private card number, Mobile Wallet solutions such as Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay create, encrypt, and save an individual device account number on your phone or another compatible device. 

When you use your Mobile Wallet to make a purchase, the secure account number will be used to process your purchase. Your personal Providence Federal Credit Union card number is never shared with merchants or entered with payment! This allows you to make safe and secure payments directly from your device!

Apple (iOS) Users:

If you have an Apple iPhone (iOS 14 or higher), the new mobile app will update automatically based on your typical app update settings. To be sure the update occurs, we recommend you go into the app store and update to the new version manually. The new version of the app will display a white icon with an orange background and can be found by searching “Providence FCU Mobile.” 

Android Users:

If you have an Android phone (OS 7.0 or higher) you’ll need to manually go into the Google Play store and download our new free app. At that time, we also recommend you delete the old PFCU Mobile Banking App. The new version of the app will display a white icon with an orange background and can be found by searching “Providence FCU Mobile.”  

For Android and Apple users, the new app icon will have a white “P” logo on an orange background:

No, existing payees, payment history, and recurring bill payments will carry over to the new system. Be sure to confirm this transfer once you log in after the upgrade.

Yes, Remote Deposit Capture (mobile deposit) will be in your new mobile banking app.

Due to the ever-changing landscape of the financial services market, the Board of Directors and management of both credit unions thought this was the best path to continue meeting the financial needs of our members. Together, our organizations will continue to grow and evolve, helping us market to our community, implement new technologies and provide operational and administrative guidance. This support will ultimately translate into a deeper product and service mix for our membership.

This merger also marks the start of a new chapter for Shirley Cate, PFCU President and CEO, as she will be retiring upon completion of the merger. Congratulations, Shirley!

Larry Ellifritz, President and CEO of CCCU, will become the President and CEO of the combined organization.

This is a very positive event for both our credit unions, and our Board and management teams are excited to watch the evolution of the new combined organization.

They are a full-service credit union that was originally chartered in 1954 to serve the employees of Consolidated Freightways.  Today, anyone who lives, works, worships, owns a business, or goes to school in either Multnomah, Washington, Clackamas, Columbia, Hood River, Yamhill, Clark, or Skamania counties is eligible to join CCCU. Potential members across the country can also join through our association membership program. We encourage you to visit their website at www.consolidatedccu.com to learn more about the credit union and the products and services they offer.

CCCU was originally formed by the employees of Consolidated Freightways in 1954. Now they serve over 20,000 members and have over $490 million in assets, serving members in all 50 states.

CCCU’s alignment with our credit union’s culture is a testament to our shared commitment to member service. Their dedication is reflected in the extensive range of top-notch products and services they offer. What’s more, our collaboration has expanded member access to a vast network of physical branches nationwide, ensuring convenience in financial transactions through CO-OP Shared Branching (Click Here to find a Shared Branch Location near you). Our 12-year partnership with CCCU has been incredibly fruitful, particularly in supporting our employees and members with their residential and commercial real estate financing needs. This synergy has not only strengthened our operations but also reinforced our mission to serve our community with excellence.

Your PFCU ATM/Debit cards will remain active until May 31, 2025. After this date, and to ensure uninterrupted service, we will issue new cards sometime in May before the conversion date of June 1. We will notify you when your new cards will be arriving and when they will be activated.

Rest assured, your account numbers will stay the same unless there’s a conflict of duplicate member numbers between the two credit unions. (Response updated 8/15/2024)

No, your loan terms will not change and none of our loans will be sold.  Members will continue to make payments to the credit union, as normal.

Rest assured, any automatic deposits and withdrawals using your account number will continue to process as usual, with no additional action needed from you.

We are working diligently to make this merger as seamless as possible for our members. While we are still determining if an account change will be needed, it would not be until mid-2025, so please continue to order and/or use PFCU checks as you normally would. If you have unused checks that need to be replaced due to an account change in the future, the credit union will cover the cost. If there are no account changes, the checks you have today will continue to work and will not need to be replaced. We will communicate updates as we have more information. 

The PFCU branch at Providence St. Vincent Medical Center, the ITM at the Providence Portland Medical Center and the branch in San Diego in UDW will remain open.

Our doors at the PFCU Administrative Office in Milwaukie, OR will officially close at the end of day Friday, May 30, 2025. Our headquarters will move to the CCCU headquarters in NE Portland on Monday, June 2, 2025. (Response updated 8/19/2024)

If you have an account open at each location, your PFCU account will move over to CCCU under your CCCU membership at the time of conversion, which is anticipated to be in June 2025.

The merger of a credit union is a significant event that often brings about a wave of change, but one of the most positive outcomes is the retention of all employees. This decision reflects a commitment to staff continuity and stability, which can be incredibly reassuring for the workforce. It means that the employees can look forward to being part of the new, larger entity, bringing their valuable experience and knowledge to the table.
