About Us - Our Mission
Welcome to the “Northwest”
When you join, you’re part of a not-for-profit financial cooperative, where members
share resources to offer low cost loans to other members. Net profits come back to you
as higher savings rates, lower loan rates, and better service. That was the way it has
worked since the original 29 members founded our credit union in 1949.

Northwest Community Credit Union Statement of Commitment
Our mission is to focus on the member, add value and build partnerships. As a
member-owned, not-for profit financial cooperative, Northwest Community is committed
to our members. We take responsibility for serving
our membership and the communities they
live in. Members are treated with respect and dignity; we also have a broad range
of low cost products and services to meet the diverse
needs of our members and potential members. We look for better ways to reach out to
the un-served or underserved members in our community.
We monitor and communicate our service to members in a meaningful way so that members,
potential members, legislators, regulators, and the community at large will understand and
appreciate the unique role that member-owned financial cooperatives play in their lives.
Northwest Community Credit Union’s strategic plan focuses on enabling our
members to become financially self-sufficient and successful. We place high
importance on consumer education and the teaching
of financial thrift.
The credit union mission of “Not for Profit, Not for Charity, But For
Service” is consistent with Northwest Community Credit Union’s principles,
and our philosophy of “People Helping People”. These principles guide the
maintenance of good business practices that ensure the financial strength of our credit
union on behalf of our members.
