Who Is PenAir?

Let's get to know each other.

We are more than a community banking resource

The reason we exist is so much simpler — and so much more powerful.

We exist to enhance lives

And with that clarity, what we do is made more powerful by our purpose for doing it. Grown from the values we hold most dear, three guiding principles emerged to shape how we see the people we serve, the community around us, and our role within it.

Who We Are

Being the largest and oldest local credit union in Pensacola, Florida, with more than $3 billion in assets, is the least interesting thing about us.

How It All Started

Since our founding in 1936, PenAir Credit Union has always maintained our commitment to our members’ needs. Through these years we have grown alongside our members and welcomed more members into our cooperative. Because of this strength we have been able to continually improve our service through enhanced access and convenience, competitive rates, and more locations. This strength will always be a part of who we are, yesterday, today, and in the future.

Where We're Going

PenAir’s been connected to this community since 1936. Serving up great banking to generations of those who keep us safe, make us stronger — and make this community so amazing. That’s why we never stop getting better and better.

In order to evaluate the more than 5,000 credit unions in the United States, Forbes enlisted the help of Statista, a marketing research firm, to survey nearly 26,000 U.S. citizens from all 50 states on their banking relationships. Financial institutions were scored on overall recommendations and satisfaction, as well as five subdimensions (trust, terms and conditions, branch services, digital services, and financial advice). Only 3.4% of credit unions nationwide make this prestigious list.
