You Asked For More Credit Card Options; We Listened!

We're excited to announce that we've expanded our Credit Card offerings to fit your needs. We now offer our Copper Cash Back Card to a wider range of members with limits of up to $25,000. Our cash back card earns you 1% cash back on all purchases!   Your cash back is applied to your credit card account monthly making it an easy and convenient way to earn while you spend.

 

We will also offer the Silver Low Rate Card featuring our lowest rates. If you carry a monthly credit card balance, then our Silver Low Rate card may be right for you.  With national credit card rates continuing to climb, all of our credit cards feature low non-variable rates, no annual fees, and no balance transfer fees.  

 

AND, we've heard your requests for a Rewards Credit Card and are currently finalizing a program to bring this to you! Coming this fall, we'll be offering a Rewards Credit Card that allows you to earn points that you redeem for rewards just for using your credit card. We'll be announcing more details soon.

 

You asked for a variety of credit cards to fit your different needs and we're thrilled to roll out some new solutions! If you have an existing CPFCU Credit Card that you're happy with, you're all set. Your account will be grandfathered into our new program at your existing rate, term and card type. If you're interested in switching things up, please give us a call at 312-726-8814, or stop by any CPFCU branch location.

  • Silver Low Rate Card- Rates from 7.90% -16.90%
