In 1979 PEFCU moved into our main office in Lakeland, Fl and by 1984 underwent construction to double in size. Then our last remodel of this office was in 1993 to add an additional wing with a 2nd story.
In 1977 PEFCU was converted from a State Charter to a Federal Charter. This means we moved from being regulated by the state to federal regulation. The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), an agency of the Federal Government regulates and insures our Credit Union.
