General Use: As a general policy, Pioneer WV Federal Credit Union does not automatically collect personal information from users of its Web site resource. Pioneer WV Federal Credit Union does collect and store information on the domain a user uses to access its Web site resource, the Internet address of the Web site from which a user links to the credit union's Web site resource and the date and time of the visitor's visit to the credit union's Web site resource.

Online Banking, Bill Pay, and e-Statements

Pioneer WV Federal Credit Union will NEVER call, email or otherwise contact you and ask for your user name, password or other online banking credentials.

With MFA, when you log into our online banking website, you will be prompted for your username and password (the first factor), a unique phrase and identification of a picture that you've chosen (the second factor) and in some cases, the answer to one of several security questions that you've chosen (the third factor). Taken together, these multiple factors provide increased security for your Pioneer WV Federal Credit Union account(s).

Your Financial Compass For Life

...not only did Pioneer save me $1,716.24 in interest, but they saved me $351 on a GAP warranty... Pioneer was fantastic!
I came to Pioneer in desperate need of a loan for a complex situation... They took the smartest approach to save money in interest.
I was able to do a balance transfer to my Pioneer credit card from my Chase credit card and dropped my interest rate from 15% to 6.70%.
Pioneer was a big help with refinancing our vehicles. We are saving over $200 a month on our payments and saved over $4000 in interest in just one auto!
They took 2 years off our loan term when we refinanced, saving us over $1400 in interest.
My financial advocate was knowledgeable, polite and friendly. Banking at Pioneer has been a blessing.
We refinanced a new vehicle with Pioneer and were able to save money on monthly payments and overall interest. Over $1140.
If not the FA taking the time to explain to me how financing worked, I would have made a mistake that would have cost me thousands of dollars ($10,000 actually).
By the end of my appointment, I consolidated two of my credit cards saving me over $5,000. Amazing!
