As more and more teachers and other educational employees
joined, the group changed its name to The Piedmont Educational
Employees Credit Union. Then, in the mid 1980’s, APAC VA Paving
became the first employee group to offer the credit union to its
employees. Over the next few years this great idea took flight and
several more businesses became select employer groups, offering the
credit union as an optional benefit to their employees. It was
during this time period that the group finally settled on a name,
Piedmont Credit Union.
Today Piedmont Credit Union serves
more than 100 schools and more than 50 businesses in the Dan River
Region. Piedmont Credit Union is still a member owned cooperative
that is run by a volunteer, elected Board of Directors. It is still
not for profit, and the same personal service and great pricing that
marked the credit union in the 20th Century still mark it in the
21st Century! It is a great pleasure for all of the staff and
volunteers of Piedmont Credit Union to serve our members and we
can’t wait to see what’s ahead! |
