STOCKTON - Premier Community Credit Union has introduced financial services designed specifically for small businesses in San Joaquin County.

Credit unions traditionally serve consumers, but Premier Community’s new business services will provide business checking, savings, and lending products at pricing that is friendly to small businesses.  Business lending decisions are made locally, unlike those at large banks, so underwriters are fully aware of the local environment.   Premier Community also offers “no termed contract” credit card merchant services through a partner service provider.

 Premier Community’s business services are managed by Director of Business Services Gary Lopp, who has over 30 years of banking experience, most recently at F&M Bank.  Gary is located at Premier Community’s Benjamin Holt Service Center in Stockton, and can be reached at (209) 235-1100.

Premier Community was chartered in 1931 to provide financial services to Stockton teachers.  Today, Premier Community serves everyone who lives or works in San Joaquin County, with branches in Stockton, Lodi and Manteca.  Premier Community has 11,000 members and assets over $124 million.
