Being a member of Washington’s only Forbes Best-In-State Credit Union five years in a row has its perks. Enjoy favorable rates on everything from credit cards to savings accounts. Insured deposits. A great mobile app. Access to your money from ATMs anywhere in the world. And since you’ll be part of a member-owned cooperative that gives 4% of its net income back to your local community, you’ll see the good happening all around you. Every day.
WSECU gives you access to a network of over 5,000 shared branches and more than 30,000 ATMs. Even when traveling, there’s a location near you.
What’s the difference between a bank and a credit union? Banks are owned by shareholders; credit unions are owned by their members. So instead of profiting stockholders, WSECU reinvests 4% of our net income into our communities. The rest goes back into the credit union. You get better rates, fewer fees and great service. What’s not to like?
