Our History
Wauna Federal Credit Union was chartered in 1967 by a group of employees of the Crown Zellerbach Paper Mill (now known as Georgia Pacific), located in Wauna, Oregon. As the Credit Union's popularity and success in providing financial thrift grew, area residents began requesting the opportunity for membership. This prompted the volunteer board of directors to apply to the National Credit Union Administration, a federal government agency that oversees the credit union industry, to expand the field of membership. Over the years, a number of field of membership expansions were approved. Today, Wauna Federal Credit Union serves all residents and businesses in Clatsop County, Columbia County, and Western Washington County in Oregon, and Pacific County in Washington.

What is a Credit Union?
A financial institution that is not-for-profit, is member-owned (cooperative) to serve residents with a common-bond (such as an employer, a community, a county, etc.), is also member-directed (a volunteer board of directors annually elected by the membership), and returns all profits each year to its members via strong savings and loan rates (than traditional for-profit banks), investment in technology and convenient service delivery systems, and most importantly, the delivery of the highest rated personal service in the financial services industry
