Who We Are
We’ve earned our members’ trust by providing people-over-profit service since 1928. We are here to enrich their lives and strengthen the communities we all share. We offer a full suite of financial tools and services to help members thrive, no matter their goals.
Why should you join us at NWPCU?
When you belong to NWPCU, you are more than a customer or client. Unlike a bank, we return profits to our members through better rates and lower fees. As a well-established credit union, we learned a long time ago that we’re all stronger when we pull together.
Lower Loan Rates, Higher Deposit Rates
NWPCU delivers its earnings back to you in the form of lower rates on loans and higher rates on deposits. Also, your money is safe with us. Your accounts are fully insured by the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF) to at least $250,000 per individual.
Support For Life's Milestones.
From understanding your credit report to helping you plan for the future, we're here for you – wherever "here" happens to be.
Personal Service
At NWPCU, we give personal attention to our members and take great care to ensure your satisfaction. We will work with you to help you achieve your financial goals, whether you're eight or eighty!
