Who Can Join?
Anyone in our Oregon Service Area.
It has been estimated that 80% of Oregon's population qualifies to join Northwest
Community Credit Union.
If you live or work in the following Oregon counties, or if you have a relative
(brother, parent, aunt, grandchild, etc.,) who lives or works in these Oregon counties,
you can join. And once you join, you can be a member for life—that’s why we have
members who live all over the world after moving out of state.
Ready to join?
Visit a branch near you or ask for
more information online.
Why Join? Because we're different than other financial institutions.
- We're a not-for-profit, member-owned cooperative, run by a
member-elected volunteer board of directors who
make sure your interests come first.
- Your savings stay in local communities; deposits are reinvested
right here in Oregon, providing loans and other services to your fellow members.
- You’ll almost always find better rates here. Unlike a bank, we
return dividends directly to you as a member, not use them to generate profits for
outside investors.
Get the most out of your credit union. After all, you own it.
When you join Northwest Community Credit Union (NWCU), you do more than open an
account. You become a member-owner in a financial cooperative. We’re a banking
alternative, and our only job is to help you and other members enjoy financial success.
Since 1949, we’ve helped Oregon families build
stronger financial futures. The credit union is owned and operated by its members, so
this is an institution where people really do help people.
Eligibility is open to Oregonians who live or work in the following counties:
Benton, Clackamas, Coos, Crook, Deschutes, Douglas, Jackson, Jefferson, Josephine, Lane,
Linn, Klamath, Marion, Multnomah, and Washington.
Another way to be able to join is to be related to someone who lives in, or works in,
one of these counties. Eligible family relations include niece, uncle, brother,
child, sibling, parent, and grandparent—all are welcome and your family doesn’t have to
be a member yet.
