About Us

Mission Statement

Pacific NW Federal Credit Union is a member-owned financial cooperative existing to provide high quality products and services, which enable our membership to achieve financial health and independence.

Our History

We were founded in 1942 by a handful of Bonneville Power Administration employees, and have continued to grow by adding other federal agencies and select employee groups to our membership. In 1999 we merged with Hessell-TPC Credit Union, with Mountain Valley Federal Credit Union in 2000, then with Pacific Retailers Omni Federal Credit Union in 2001. In 2004, we added Hood River, Wasco, Skamania and Klickitat counties, as well as a community in NE Portland to our membership eligibility. Click here for membership eligibility.

We now offer credit union services to over 300 federal agencies and select employee groups. We are a $140 million credit union with over 16,000 members, enjoying a full range of personal and business products and services. Our primary goal is to satisfy our members' financial needs with a high level of service, using three strategic objectives:

  1. Be our member's financial partner for life
  2. Ensure that the credit union's financial performance remains strong
  3. Achieve balanced growth
