POPA Federal Credit Union was formed in 1978 by PPOA (Peace Officers Professional Association) to provide sound financial products and services to LA County peace officers that belonged to the association. 

Over the years, the Credit Union was able to extend its membership to other professional associations such as, ALADS (Association of Los Angeles Deputy Sheriffs), LASPA (Los Angeles Sheriff's Professional Association), etc.  POPA's diverse membership ranges from deputy sheriffs to civilian employees in the Scientific Services Bureau. 

For over 30 years, POPA FCU has been a financial institution dedicated to their membership's best interests by providing a safe and convenient place to save as well as to borrow.  POPA's mission is to promote the philosophy of "people helping people" by offering our members value-added products and services to meet ALL of their financial needs. 

3 Reasons Why You Should Be with POPA FCU vs. a Bank!

1. Better Rates - Since we are a not-for-profit institution, POPA FCU are generally able to offer lower loan rates and higher deposit rates than the banks.

2. Valuable FEE-FREE Services - Members enjoy the service convenience of today's technology, including telephone and online banking.  We provide members with no-surcharge access to over 1,800 shared branches and over 28,000 surcharge-free CO-OP ATMs.

3. Membership Ownership - Owned by our members (rather than outside stockholders), we are focused on people - not profit.  Members elect a volunteer Board of Directors to oversee POPA FCU; our resources are then directed toward the membership benefits in the form of lower loan rates and higher savings dividends.  POPA FCU and credit unions alike exist to serve the member-owners by helping them to make the most of their money.
