Who We Are
Inspire Federal Credit Union is a progressive financial institution that has been serving the financial needs of the Bucks County community for over 80 years and Philadelphia County since 2024. We are a relationship based, not-for-profit, financial services organization providing our members with competitive products and services, and helping them reach their most challenging financial goals.
Our membership is made of individuals and businesses that call Bucks and/or Philadelphia County home. Our members find our products and services to more than meet their needs, and our attention to detail and personalized service to far exceed their expectations.
Inspire is led by a team of industry professionals, who collectively have nearly 150 years of experience in their field of expertise. We are governed by a volunteer board of directors who are elected by our general membership of over 15,000 members. Together, our executive team and board of directors set a strategy and direction that is in the best interest of our members, and serves to meet their growing financial needs.
As a result of our commitment to providing exemplary service to our members and being a strong community partner, we have been voted the Best Credit Union of Bucks County since 2013 by the Bucks County community. We invite you to experience Inspire FCU for yourself and join today – it’s simple, easy and we guarantee you will not regret your decision to switch your banking relationship to a Credit Union who has your best interest in mind with every decision we make.
