Awards and Recognition



Provincial Credit Union is proud to announce that we have received recognition as one of  “Atlantic Canada's Top Employers” , “Canada’s Top 100 Employers” and a “Great Place to Work” for 2025.

Canada's Top 100 Employers

Canada’s Top 100 Employers is an editorial competition in its 25th year that recognizes businesses with exceptional human resource programs and forward-thinking work policies. This is Provincial Credit Union's (PCU) second consecutive year on the Top 100 list, with the parental leave top-up policy, vacation policies, and additional personal paid time off given special mention.

Provincial Credit Union is the only PEI business to make the list for 2025.

PCU is proud to be recognized for the culture it has fostered through initiatives like the Pay it Forward campaign, where staff are provided with $60 to donate to a charity of their choice. Staff are also provided two paid days off each year to volunteer in their communities.

“We are thrilled to maintain our title of being one of Canada’s top employers,” said CEO Alfred Arsenault. “Our employees are the heartbeat of our organization. I’m glad all their efforts have resulted in our organization being one of the best places to work in the country.”

Great Place To Work
