NAME CHANGE
Dear Valued Member,
I’m writing to share some exciting news about the future of our credit union!
After careful thought and reflection by the Board of Directors and Management Team, PCT Federal Credit Union will soon be changing its name to Cranberry Federal Credit Union.
While our name is changing, everything you know and trust about us is staying the same. We’re still your credit union — still local, still member-owned, and still grounded in the values that have guided us since the beginning. We’re proud to say: We are people helping people.
Our new name, Cranberry Federal Credit Union, reflects the strong connection we have to the community we serve. As a credit union rooted in Wareham, our story began by supporting local teachers — individuals who dedicate themselves every day to helping students grow, thrive, and succeed. That same spirit of care and commitment has guided our credit union from the start. Like teachers planting seeds of knowledge, we’ve been here to help our members build strong financial futures. Our new name honors both our region’s proud cranberry heritage and the hardworking families, educators, and community members who make this area so special. It’s a fresh chapter — one that allows us to grow while staying true to who we are.
With this new name, we’re embracing a future focused on helping our members grow, too. That’s why our new motto will be: Harvesting Financial Success. Because whether you’re buying your first home, saving for the future, or building your credit, we’re here to help you thrive — every step of the way.
“Changing our name to Cranberry Federal Credit Union is a reflection of our pride in the community and our dedication to our members,” says Board Chair John Grondin.
“We’re excited about this next chapter and confident it will strengthen our connection to the people we serve.”
We’ll be sharing more details with you in the coming weeks, including when the change will officially take place. For now, please know that you don’t need to take any action — your accounts, services, and trusted team will remain exactly the same.
Thank you for being part of our credit union family. We’re honored to serve you and can’t wait to continue that journey as Cranberry Federal Credit Union — where we’re still people helping people and now, more than ever, committed to Harvesting Financial Success for all.
Warmly,
Dan Picard
CEO
PCT Federal Credit Union (soon to be Cranberry Federal Credit Union)
