Comprehensive Financial Services

At First Commonwealth FCU, we provide a full spectrum of banking and investment services under one roof. Our members enjoy:

  • Competitive savings and checking accounts with no-fee options
  • Certificates of Deposit (CDs) and money market accounts
  • Auto, home, and personal loans

    With our ATM on-site and 24/7 online banking, you can manage accounts, deposit checks, and pay bills at your convenience. Our goal is to be your primary financial resource—whether you’re depositing a paycheck or mapping out a long-term investment strategy.

Customer-Centered Branch Experience

Every relationship begins at the branch. Customers consistently note the friendliness and helpfulness of our tellers and branch staff: “She made it very easy and was so friendly. Just a joy!” However, we recognize that experiences can vary: some visitors have encountered longer wait times or staff interactions that fell short of expectations. We take all feedback to heart and are constantly refining our staffing strategies and training to ensure that every member feels welcome, respected, and valued—no matter how busy the lobby gets.

Convenience and Technology

In today’s fast-paced world, convenience is everything. First Commonwealth FCU offers:

  • Self-service teller machines for quick deposits, withdrawals, and transfers
  • A robust mobile app supported by patient, one-on-one setup assistance (“VERY helpful setting up the mobile app for me. Great customer service!”)
  • Online account management, remote check deposit, and real-time balance updates
    Our self-service teller machines combine automation with on-demand team support, so routine transactions are a snap yet never feel isolated. When members need help, our staff is right there to guide them, ensuring technology always works for you—not against you.

Speed and Transparency in Account Processing

When it comes to your money, timing matters. Members appreciate how quickly deposits and withdrawals post to their accounts—often within hours rather than days. As one member observed, “How quickly your account is up to date (usually within hours). Many other financial institutions are days before your account is updated.” This level of transparency helps you budget with confidence, pay bills on time, and seize opportunities as they arise.

Dedicated Small Business Support

Local businesses are at the heart of Emmaus’s economy, and First Commonwealth FCU is proud to be a trusted partner. During critical moments like the pandemic, our branch managers responded swiftly to email inquiries and guided business owners through both rounds of PPP funding: “Greatly helped my small business during the pandemic with both rounds of PPP funding.” Whether you’re applying for a commercial loan, setting up merchant services, or planning for expansion, our team offers tailored advice and prompt follow-through to keep your enterprise moving forward.

Modern, Welcoming Branch Atmosphere

Step into our Emmaus branch and you’ll notice the difference. From the contemporary design to private meeting spaces, we’ve created an environment that’s both professional and comfortable. Enclosed areas let you discuss mortgages, investments, or sensitive financial matters in privacy.

Ongoing Improvements and Reliability

We know no institution is perfect. At times, phone hold times can stretch longer than we’d like, and ATM outages can cause frustration.

Your convenience remains our priority, and we welcome your feedback as we enhance every touchpoint of the member experience.
