PHILADELPHIA – Philadelphia Federal Credit Union (PFCU) is excited to announce a partnership with Saint Joseph's University (SJU), becoming the official credit union of Saint Joseph's University Athletics and the official banking institution of the Saint Joseph's University Alumni Association.

Through this partnership, PFCU 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.

"We are thrilled to have Philadelphia Federal Credit Union as a sponsor and grateful for its support of our men's and women's athletics program," said Saint Joseph's University Vice President and Director of Athletics Jill Bodensteiner. "PFCU is a proud local partner in our community and their commitment to providing financial literacy to their members and our student-athletes will surely benefit them well into the future."

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. 

"As a big local sports fan, I am excited about this new partnership," said Patricia A. Craven, President/CEO of Philadelphia Federal Credit Union. "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."

Van Wagner College, SJU Athletics' exclusive multimedia rights partner, assisted in the brokering of this exciting new long-term partnership.
