P1FCU was formed in 1938 by an organized group of people with a common bond who pooled their assets to provide loans and financial services to each other. Credit unions are not for profit cooperatives formed by and organized group of people with a common bond, owner by members and are operated by mostly volunteer boards. Members of credit unions pool their assets to provide loans and other financial services to each other.

Other financial institutions are owned by outside stockholders and controlled by paid boards. Theses factors allow credit unions to pay dividends to their members (not shareholders) and offer them lower loan rates higher savings rates and fewer service fees. P1FCU is a member-owned, not-for-profit financial cooperative. We have grown now to serve members in fifteen counties in Idaho, eight counties in Oregon, and the entire state of Washington.
