Washington Credit Union League - Credit Union Organizations

Washington's Credit Unions: Together. Better.
The Washington Credit Union League is more than a trade association. The League is an ally and an advocate, a confidant and a cheerleader, a booster and a steward, a coach and a loyal fan.

While you focus on the important work of serving your credit union members, we’ll keep focused on serving you.

Your Voice in Olympia & D.C.
The League works with state and federal policy makers, coalitions and consumer groups to keep credit union powers strong, and give credit unions the opportunity to thrive. Washington’s consumers have the best access to credit unions in the nation, because of our unsurpassed operating environment.

Education for a Qualified Staff & Board
Your membership with the League and CUNA gives you access to inexpensive education, including webinars that eliminate travel expenses, and national certification programs.

Reaching New Members, Telling Your Story
The League works with the largest media institutions in the state—as well as smaller weekly publications—to tell consumers about the credit union difference. CUNA carries that same message to national media outlets such as NPR, the Wall Street Journal and USA Today.

Relationship Building
Washington state and national networking councils are forums for credit union professionals to meet, share experiences, and learn from one another.

Scholarships & Grants
The Washington Credit Union Foundation and National Credit Union Foundation support and promote credit union development and credit unions’ commitment to social responsibility. Support includes professional development scholarships, community outreach, disaster relief and small credit union assistance.

Complying with New Laws
The League employs full-time staff devoted to helping your credit union shoulder its weighty compliance burden. Your League membership also gives you access to the Washington Credit Union Compliance Manual, Washington state-specific compliance updates, CUNA’s e-guide to Federal Laws & Regulations, and Cobweb—CUNA’s e-mail listserv for the discussion of compliance issues.

Build Better Business Relationships
The League’s wholly-owned services corporation provides your credit union with high-quality, competitively priced products and discounted services.

Helping Small CUs Prosper
The League helps address the competitive needs of small credit unions, including a bi-annual, no-cost small credit union roundtable.

Social Responsibility
Social works on a grand scale require cooperation. The League acts as a focus for concentrating credit union efforts in the community, whether those efforts are directed at preventing elder abuse, educating the Hispanic community on the importance of becoming “banked” or teaching kids about the importance of financial literacy. Standing together we’re better than we can be standing alone.
