Your Privacy, Our Priority
Service excellence is important to us, especially when it comes to protecting your privacy. Our Privacy Policy is designed to protect the financial relationship that we have with you. The credit union collects nonpublic personal information about you when you submit applications and forms for savings and/or lending services. Other sources of nonpublic personal information are your account transaction activity, credit history on file with consumer reporting agencies and information from marketing research firms.

First Commonwealth Federal Credit Union does not disclose nonpublic information to affiliated or non-affiliated third parties except as allowed by law. The law allows us to exchange account activity information with third parties in order to process things such as ATM and check card activity and open credit line activity. Our staff is committed to protecting your personal information.
Employees follow our strict policy concerning member confidentiality. The credit union will not release any information about your accounts without your specific written consent. If your account with First Commonwealth Federal Credit Union becomes inactive or is closed, your information will not be released to affiliated or non-affiliated third parties.
We are committed to informing you, our member, of the availability of valuable financial services. The credit union may disclose information about you, typically name and address, to reputable financial institutions that we have partnered with to provide services such as insurance, consumer goods discounts, and investment broker-dealer offerings.
First Commonwealth Federal Credit Union may wish to provide additional service offerings in the future. The credit union will provide sufficient notice, as required by law, to allow you to opt out of receiving information regarding these services.
As your credit union of choice, we assure you that we maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards that comply with federal regulations in order to guard your nonpublic personal information. We want to retain the confidence that you have placed in us and ensure you of our ongoing commitment to you in the future.
