Celebrating 89 Years

Like an investment, getting older has its perks. Please join us in celebrating our 89th birthday!

Back in 1936, ten visionary teachers came together in the basement of the old Columbia High School and each contributed $5 to start something bigger than themselves - our credit union. We’re proud to return to that original spirit as we continue building on their legacy.

Now, to maintain your membership with Palmetto Citizens, or to become a new member, you can do so by having that same $5 amount in your primary savings account. Previously, this was $25.

Not only does this change reconnect us to our historical roots, it’s also consistent with our mission of financial accessibility. Lowering this amount makes it easier for more people to join our credit union, so it will help support membership growth, enhance financial inclusion, and reinforce our values as a member-driven institution.

From our humble beginnings, Palmetto Citizens has grown to meet the financial needs of tens of thousands of members. We've weathered the challenges of harsh economic conditions and the ever-changing complexities of the financial industry. Through it all, we've continually adapted to ensure we remain a trusted financial partner and a safe and sound organization.

We truly love our members - without you and your trust in us, none of this would ever have been possible. Getting the chance to help people with their financial needs and be part of the important milestones in their financial lives is not something we ever take for granted. It is our absolute pleasure and honor to be here for each of you.

If there's anything we can do for you, please don't hesitate to visit a branch, give us a call, or send us a message in digital banking.
