Credit Union Membership

Open an account, join a community. With low fees, local service, and a focus on giving back, we know that People are the Point.®

Community banking and so much more. Unlock what's possible.

It’s been over 90 years since a handful of schoolteachers joined together to form our credit union and overcome the challenges of the Great Depression. They didn’t do it for profit. They did it to help each other and their fellow teachers. After all, that’s what community is all about.

Why join OnPoint?

We’re not-for-profit, which means we thrive when our members do. With a full range of banking services―including checking, savings, CDs, loans, and credit cards―as well as great rates, low fees, and free financial education resources, we’re here to help you accomplish your financial goals.

Open an account

Excellent rates & member value

Profits are returned to members, not shareholders. That means we can offer lower rates on loans and higher rates on deposits, fewer and lower fees, and additional resources such as online and in-person financial education resources.

Member-owned & community-focused

We believe a thriving community helps us all. We’re committed to giving back where we live and work, through funding and supporting schools and nonprofits, volunteering for the causes that matter, and promoting financial education and access for everyone.

Extensive ATM & branch network

With 59 branches and access to over 70,000+ nationwide, we’re there for you when you need us, wherever that might be. Traveling outside of the Pacific Northwest? Deposit and withdraw cash surcharge-free on the MoneyPass and Co-Op ATM networks.

Dependable & secure access

Digital Banking provides access to your account securely and conveniently 24/7 through Online Banking and our Mobile Banking app.

People are the Point.®

Money without people is just money. It doesn’t roll up its sleeves to get things done, has no story, and has no big dreams. OnPoint understands that it takes people to run a business, turn a house into a home, and build and support a thriving community. As a not-for-profit financial cooperative, a credit union is here to help people build what matters most.

People helping people.

We live in an inspiring community full of remarkable people and organizations working every day to make it special.
