Open a Checking Account and Get $300

As a member-owned financial cooperative, we focus on shared goals, not shareholders.

We’d like to invite you to join Northwest Community Credit Union! If you’re a brand-new-to-NWCU member who opens a checking account in October, we’ll waive the membership fee and give you $300 to help you meet your next goal!

Be proud of where you put your money

NWCU is member-owned and managed. This means:

  • We measure our success through member satisfaction, not profits.
  • Profits return to members through better rates and fewer fees.
  • We’re deeply invested and involved in our communities and their well-being.
  • We’re transparent about our finances, posting them every month on our website.

Being member-focused means that our products include things you want and need. We’ve got easy checking options that offer what you need:

  • Free online banking and eStatements.
  • Check your balance, transfer money, and deposit checks any time with our mobile app.
  • Save automatically every time you use your debit card with Round Up & Save.
  • Use your debit cards with Apple Pay®, Google Pay™, or Samsung Pay®.
  • Use the CardValet® app to turn your debit card on/off, control your spending, and monitor your card usage.
