Frequently asked questions
How do I become a member?

Anyone who lives, works, worships, or attends school in our service area is eligible. Simply open a savings account with a $5 minimum deposit. That's it — you're an owner.

Are my deposits insured?

Yes. All deposits are federally insured by the NCUA (National Credit Union Administration) up to $250,000 per depositor — the same protection as FDIC for banks.

How is PEAR different from a bank?

At PEAR, you're a member-owner, not just a customer. Our profits are returned to members through better rates, lower fees, and community investment — not to outside shareholders.

Can I access my accounts online and on mobile?

Absolutely. Our full-featured online banking and mobile app let you manage accounts, pay bills, deposit checks, transfer funds, and get real-time notifications 24/7.
