Wauna Credit Union

Wauna Credit Union was chartered in 1967 by a group of local residents who were employees of the Crown Zellerbach Paper Company (now known as Georgia Pacific Paper Company), located in Wauna, Oregon. As the popularity of our Credit Union grew, other nearby residents requested the opportunity to become members, too. This prompted our volunteer board of directors to apply to the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), a federal government agency that oversees the credit union industry, to expand our field of membership so others could join.

Over the years a number of field of membership expansions were approved to the point where Wauna Federal Credit Union today is authorized to serve all the residents and businesses in Clatsop County, Columbia County, and Western Washington County (Oregon), and Pacific County (Washington).

So, what is a Credit Union? Well, a Credit Union is a financial cooperative with one, driving philosophy — “People Helping People.” While we might not all be the same, our goals surely are: to improve your financial well-being and to support and grow the communities and businesses on which we rely.

Credit Unions are everything that the big banks offer, but with a hometown feel. And what’s more is that we aren’t owned by stockholders, we are owned by our members and their shares. Join a Credit Union and make the world a better place.
