Join your local community credit union

Your community. Your place to bank. People are the Point.

Get more from OnPoint.

It’s been nearly 90 years since a handful of schoolteachers joined together to form our credit union. They didn’t do it for profit. They did it to help one another. After all, that’s what community is all about.

We’re a local community credit union empowering you to get the most from life. When you want to talk to someone about your finances, there’s no better way than to meet in person. That’s why we’re expanding our coverage while national banks are closing branches.

Excellent rates & value

As a local community credit union, we’re in it for people—not profit. That’s why we offer lower rates and better value for our members.

55 local branches

Having local branches throughout Oregon and SW Washington makes it easy to get in, get out and get back to your life.

40,000+ ATMs

I have been slowly moving all services to OnPoint. I have had only positive experiences with top notch customer service at OnPoint.

My branch experience with Jordan was a delight. He was a pleasure to work with, experienced enough to be really helpful and worked quite quickly to get me all setup. I even got a call from him, so he could get me just what I wanted/needed.

Credit unions are different. OnPoint takes it further.

People are the Point.

Money without people is just money. It doesn’t roll up its sleeves to get things done. It doesn’t have a story, or dream big. OnPoint understands that it takes people to run a business, or turn a house into a home. And it takes people to build and support a thriving community.

People helping people.

We live in an inspiring community full of remarkable people and organizations working every day to make it special. We’re a member-owned, local community credit union empowering you to get the most out of your life through personalized banking service, comprehensive financial solutions and community impact.

People are the Point.
