PHILADELPHIA–Philadelphia Federal Credit Union (PFCU) said it has entered into a partnership with Saint Joseph’s University (SJU) to become the official credit union of Saint Joseph’s University Athletics and the official banking institution of the Saint Joseph’s University Alumni Association.

Through the partnership, PFCU said it will support a financial literacy program for Saint Joseph’s student-athletes, sponsor key University events and provide resources for men’s and women’s athletic programs beginning with the 2025 season.

The financial literacy program will cover critical topics such as credit building, financial decision-making, saving, budgeting and fraud prevention, helping student-athletes develop smart financial habits. 

‘Excited About Partnership’

“As a big local sports fan, I am excited about this new partnership,” PFCU President and CEO Patricia A. Craven said in a statement. “St. Joe’s is steeped in Philadelphia tradition and naturally aligns with our mission of giving back to the communities we serve. We are thrilled for the opportunity to expand our community to support SJU student-athletes and alumni members in pursuing their financial goals.”
