Lower East Side People’s Federal Credit Union (LES People’s FCU) is a member-owned, community development financial institution dedicated to providing affordable financial services and promoting economic empowerment in underserved communities. Since 1986, we have been a lifeline for individuals and small businesses in the Lower East Side, Harlem, Staten Island's North Shore and the Bronx, offering a range of services including personal and business loans, savings accounts, and financial education. Our mission is to ensure that everyone, regardless of income, has access to fair and equitable financial resources. We believe in the power of cooperative economics to build stronger, more resilient communities. As a certified CDFI, we are committed to financial inclusion, supporting affordable housing, and fostering the economic well-being of our members. At LES People’s FCU, we are more than just a credit union—we are a movement for social and economic justice, driven by the belief that financial services should serve people, not profit.
