Become a member and an owner of Wauna Credit Union

Wauna Credit Union is a non-profit financial cooperative, not a for-profit bank. Unlike a bank, all of our members are equal owners of Wauna Credit Union. Each member maintains a $5 share of ownership in their Share Savings Account.

There are many benefits of membership at Wauna Credit Union — we offer financial education resources, budgeting help, insurance services, investment options, the ability to participate in the annual democratic election of our Board of Directors, and the opportunity to run for an open Board position.  All WCU members in good standing are eligible to vote for our volunteer Board of Directors. 

Additionally, we support many community organizations, charities, and events, and work to impact the communities we serve.

*Immediate family is defined as spouse, child, sibling, parent, grandparent, or grandchild. This includes stepparents, stepchildren, stepsiblings, and adoptive relationships. Household is defined as persons living in the same residence maintaining a single economic unit. It is not necessary for the person eligible for primary membership to join the Credit Union in order for the immediate family or household members to join as long as the primary individual is within the Credit Union's Field of Membership.
**Once a person becomes a member of the Credit Union, such a person may remain a member of the Credit Union until the person chooses to withdraw or is expelled from the membership of the Credit Union. A $5.00 share is required to maintain membership. A member who withdraws all shareholdings or fails to restore their account balance to par value within 1 month of reducing the balance below par share, either through voluntary withdrawal of funds or through involuntary assessment of fees and charges, ceases to be a member.
