The Bronx People’s FCU is Coming Soon!

We’re excited to announce that our Bronx branch at 941 Interval Avenue is on its way! While renovations are underway, we invite you to support us in bringing affordable financial services to the Bronx.

As a branch of the Lower East Side People’s Federal Credit Union (LES People’s FCU), we’re dedicated to serving Bronx residents and welcoming new members through our Select Partner Group program.

Our story began in the 1980s when community activists transformed a closing bank into LES People’s FCU. Since then, we’ve expanded into Staten Island, Harlem, and now, the Bronx. In partnership with The Bronx Financial Access Coalition (BxFAC), we’ve already served over 2,000 Bronx members and are eager to serve more.

The new branch will offer services like account openings, instant debit card issuance, and more. In the meantime, our People’s Mobile Branch continues to serve the Bronx community. Check our upcoming Mobile Branch days here.

We’re thrilled to reach this milestone and invite community-based organizations, businesses, and cooperatives to join our Select Partner Group program. Contact us at connect@lespfcu.org.

Stay tuned for updates on our Bronx branch launch!
