LPL Financial to Provide Wealth Management Services to Members of PSECU

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – March 1, 2021 – LPL Financial LLC and PSECU have entered into an agreement to provide wealth management services to the credit union’s members through LPL’s Institution Services platform using the PSECU Financial Services (PFS) brand. The advisors with PFS reported having served approximately $700 million in brokerage and advisory assets** of PSECU’s members.

With headquarters in Harrisburg, Pa., PSECU was established more than 85 years ago when 22 state employees pooled $90 to create a not-for-profit financial cooperative. It has since grown to become Pennsylvania’s largest credit union, serving more than 475,000 members with $7 billion in assets.

The financial advisors provide financial planning, retirement income planning, estate planning, and comprehensive investment advice to help PSECU members work toward a more secure financial future. The new relationship with LPL Financial will provide access to an expanded selection of investment products, allowing the advisors to tailor strategies to each member’s unique needs.

“After careful analysis, we determined that LPL put our members in the best position to work toward their financial goals and manage their financial risks. LPL’s commitment to client support, dedication to advisor service, and access to a wide array of investment options and innovative technology solutions set them apart from the rest,” said PSECU President and CEO George Rudolph. “At PSECU, we aim to help our members achieve more, and we believe our new relationship with LPL Financial allows us to do just that.”

“We welcome these advisors to LPL’s Institution Service family. LPL understands the unique needs and opportunities of institutions like PSECU and their members,” said LPL Financial Senior Vice President Ken Hullings, head of enterprise recruiting, Business Development. “With a keen client focus, we are able to make meaningful investments in the technology, risk management and digital capabilities that enable teams to run efficient and productive programs, enrich the experience and value delivered to their members, and support the organization’s overall goals and mission.”
