Open AccountHistory
In 1942, a group of Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) employees came together to establish our credit union, originally named BPA Federal Credit Union. Their goal was to provide a member-owned cooperative where colleagues could lend each other money and help grow their savings.
We merged with Hessell-TPC Credit Union in 1999, with Mountain Valley Federal Credit Union in 2000, and with Pacific Retailers Omni Federal Credit Union in 2001. Then in 2004 we expanded our membership eligibility to Hood River and the surrounding areas, as well as a community in NE Portland.
By 2018, our reach extended to the entire Portland Metro area, serving Clackamas, Columbia, Hood River, Multnomah, Washington, and Yamhill Counties in Oregon, along with Clark and Skamania Counties in Washington.

PNWFCU® is now over 22,000 members strong and offers a full range of products and services to help its members achieve financial health and independence. For more than 80 years, we’ve prioritized people over profits, consistently seeking innovative ways to better serve our members and community.
