About One Washington Financial

One Washington Financial is a Credit Union Service Organization (CUSO) wholly owned by Washington State Employees Credit Union (WSECU). OWF’s mission is to identify and invest in early-stage companies that accelerate ideas and technologies that benefit credit union members and the industry as a whole. OWF’s team has years of experience in developing, launching and investing in CUSOs (QCash Financial was formed and launched by OWF, with a successful exit in 2023). We approach every relationship as a collaboration between partners for the betterment of our industry and its members.

At One Washington, we focus on innovative companies that primarily serve credit unions. We look for new, unique ideas that address forward-thinking trends, specifically around financial well-being, equitable access to financial services and technological innovation. These companies must have a compelling vision for their products and strong growth potential.

Most importantly, partnerships are about people, and we seek strategic partners that share our core values and dedication to serving credit union members.
