PSCU Financial Services Donates $50,000 to WOCCU for Tsunami Relief

St. Petersburg, FL, Feb. 22, 2005 – The PSCU Financial Services Board of Directors today announced that the company has donated $50,000 to the World Council of Credit Unions' (WOCCU) Tsunami Relief Fund. This donation goes into the Worldwide Foundation of Credit Unions Fund, which provides disaster relief for credit unions outside of the United States. The company's contribution pushes the funds collected by the WOCCU for the Tsunami Relief effort to more than $400,000. These funds will be used to assist hundreds of credit unions in Southeast Asia that were either damaged or destroyed.

"Credit unions are faced with the daunting task of reconstructing financial records, in addition to rebuilding facilities, equipment and supplies of cash that were swept into the ocean. We would like to do our part in helping these credit unions re-establish operations so that they can in turn help local citizens and businesses get back on their feet," said David J. Serlo, President and CEO, PSCU Financial Services.

Individuals or organizations wishing to support the Tsunami Disaster Relief Fund can make a contribution through the World Council of Credit Unions' Worldwide Foundation or the National Credit Union Foundation (US). Information can be found on both websites: www.woccu.org and www.ncuf.coop.
