Personal Finance

I became a member of Pentagon Federal Credit Union (PFCU) in May 1994, as I was graduating college. My older sister, Becky, opened a savings account for me there as a graduation present. Looking back on it now, I think it was a very creative and useful gift. She started me off with $100. The rest is history.

Over the years, I have opened (and closed) a checking account, maintained a credit card, gotten a used car loan, and financed my graduate school education through PFCU. I have few complaints about PFCU, though it’s no longer my main bank of choice.
