Building a community-owned financial future for Atlantic City and Atlantic County.

A credit union by and for working families—where members are owners and savings stay local.

PLCU is in development and not yet chartered or accepting deposits.

The Problem

Too many families lack fair financial options

Working households in Atlantic City face high-cost payday lenders, excessive bank fees, and financial products not designed for shift workers or those living paycheck to paycheck. Wealth flows out of our community instead of circulating locally.

The Solution

A credit union built for our community
