O Bee Credit Union
Here’s the first question we always get: What does “O Bee” stand for? O Bee stands for “Olympia Beer.” As the name suggests, our first members worked at the Olympia Brewery. We got our start in 1955. Ted McGill, who worked in “Brewhouse A,” wanted to start a financial cooperative where the brewery workers could support each other. His idea took off. O Bee has been a cornerstone of the community ever since, open to anyone living in Washington State. O Bee is a Forbes-recognized Best-in-State credit union offering exceptional financial services. When you open an account with O Bee you become a member-owner of a not-for-profit credit union. This means our profits go back to you, in the form of better rates and fewer fees. With O Bee, your deposits are safe and sound, federally insured up to $250,000 by the National Credit Union Association (NCUA). If you’ve never joined a credit union before, we think you’ll like us.
