We’re OCCU — a member-owned, not-for-profit financial cooperative in Oregon and Washington. Since 1956, we’ve carried on and celebrated the credit union difference. What’s the credit union difference? People helping people. That’s the credit union philosophy. Unlike a traditional bank, our members are stakeholders. A member-elected board of directors sets our vision and direction. We invest in our communities. Our profits support our members and the places we live through: 🔹 Fewer and reduced fees. 🔹 Increased savings rates. 🔹 Lower loan rates. 🔹 Earmarked community funds. 🔹 Charitable giving. Our members matter: Hear our members share what it’s like to be a part of OCCU. https://youtu.be/ULzKuXRNlyM Our vision: Enrich lives. Our values: 💙 Tenacious: We’re dedicated and show up for our members with care. 💙 Humble: We support a culture of helpfulness by serving our members and one another. 💙 Big-hearted: We’re active in our communities and give our time to support our members and places we live. We offer great employee benefits, including: 🔹 Generous paid time off program. 🔹 Medical and dental insurance. 🔹 Employee assistance program. 🔹 Employee referral program. 🔹 Flexible spending accounts. 🔹 Life insurance. 🔹 Long-term disability insurance. 🔹 Short-term disability insurance. 🔹 401(k) employer contribution match program. 🔹 Volunteering opportunities. 🔹 Interest-free computer loans. 🔹 Financial assistance for post-secondary education.
