I absolutely LOVE PSECU!

[itsjustmeibe]

Personal membership - yes

$20k credit card - yes (2x - me & my BFF)

Business account - yes

Real estate equity loan - yes (2x)

Free FICO score - yes

Ease of applications, documents, customer service - PRICELESS

super congrats!  looks like you hit the ground running 

how it is that PSECU is the only org able and willing to offer a card with a real ex score benefit is confounding and, well, a bummer- lol since PSECU is difficult to qualify for with a relatively narrow field of membership, strictly enforced

Why do you say this?

[score_building]

entry not granted by joining an org upon app. for eg., membership limited to those with a predefined employment relationship, school attendance, etc.

I know what the membership field is. I was wondering about the "strict enforcement" part.

again, no offer of a global entry method through joining an affiliated org., you or family had to have attended or worked somewhere specific, many cu have strictly enforced membership requirements like this.

My niece attended one of the named schools. How strictly is that going to be enforced?

lol, perhaps it was the awkward phraseology? open = everybody can join closed or 'strictly enforced' membership requirements = not everybody can join.  good to know. i thought it was only nuclear family.

It sort of is. And that would be enforced how exactly? (I am also a godparent of the aforementioned person.)

i think they may use a clearinghouse to verify attendance of the qualifying person, not sure if they check anything else. they seem like a really great cu, that's awesome that you have a way in. i was trying to figure out if i did since a csr told me that have they thousands of orgs that can qualify you as an employee of.  i glanced at the long list but it didn't seem like thousands.  i think i'll have another look.
