Welcome…

To Jefferson Parish Employees Federal Credit Union (JPEFCU), your credit union, proudly serving the financial needs of our members for over 60 years, since October 23, 1959. We’ve come a long way evolving into a full-service financial institution and yet, we still practice the same fundamental principles. “Not for profit, not for charity, but for service.”

Member Owned

At JPEFCU, each one of our members is literally an owner and an equal shareholder of our credit union. From the beginning, our primary concern has been to help members safely achieve their financial goals. Our credit union is democratically owned and controlled. As a member and owner of JPEFCU, you have a voice in electing our Board of Directors. Their leadership, along with your input and suggestions, helps set the direction of JPEFCU.
