Gears icon for the loans and deposit cycle and credit union machine of offering the best prices and services to our members.

Structure & Pricing

Being a not-for-profit financial CO-OP, we are member-owned. We do not have stockholders. Instead, we're directed by our members, not the demands of Wall Street. This allows us to keep members' best interests at the forefront of every decision, rather than profitability. Any profit we earn is reinvested in our members.

As a result, our pricing is tough to beat. You will have a hard time finding a local savings or loan rate that is better than what we offer!

What our members are saying:

“I've been a member since it was Jantzen Federal Credit Union. Now I have moved from The Big City but keep my account there. Customer service is excellent. Some of the larger Credit Unions lack the personal connection CCCU has. And I really support the member-owned idea, as opposed to for-profit banks (who seem to always be tweaking the rules and charges to extract money from their customers).”

Markus O.

“I have been a member in some capacity for almost 40 years. I no longer live in OR but have continued to do my banking with CCCU for almost 15 years. I could not be happier with my experience.”

Michael P.

“The absolute best customer service!!! They know me by name. They respect my time. They are kind to my kids. And, because of my direct deposit, I don't have a monthly fee! This bank made living through the pandemic just a little bit more bearable.”

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a credit union and a bank?

Credit unions are member-owned financial institutions that have a not-for-profit structure. Banks are typically for-profit corporations that are owned by their investors. When you put money into a credit union, you're actually buying shares of that credit union, making you part owner. The fundamental differences between a credit union and a bank are price and service. Across the board, products and services at a credit union are a better value and the number of employees per member are always more favorable at a credit union versus a bank.

Can anyone join?

As long as you live, work, worship, own a business, or go to school in Multnomah, Washington, Clackamas, Columbia, Hood River, Yamhill, Clark, or Skamania, or are a relative of a current member.

Why join CCCU?

Because we truly care about the financial well-being of our members and will always look out for your best interests. We have been in the Portland and Hood River areas for decades and take being your credit union seriously. We also offer a wide variety of superior financial products and services that simplify the lives of our members, but the real difference is in our point of view. We work to improve your life through quality banking products, not make our stockholders double digit returns at your expense.

Why bank locally?

If you've recently relocated, you may have heard that taking advantage of the benefits of a local credit union are enormous. Banking locally as well as taking advantage of stellar rates and in-town service are just the beginning of the benefits. Did we mention our high-interest Apex Checking Account and stellar customer service? When searching for a place to bank, borrow, and invest, look no further than CCCU!
