About Us
At Unitus, we’re invested in the Northwest and are passionate about providing inspirational service to our 100,000+ members and the communities we serve.
History
Unitus has been a part of the Oregon community since 1937, when a group of Pacific Telephone & Telegraph employees pooled their resources to provide affordable loans to their co-workers. Today, Unitus serves 15 counties in Oregon and the entire state of Washington with a commitment to innovation, inclusiveness, and providing inspirational service.
Inspiring Service
Unitus employees are held to a higher standard when it comes to the service we provide. We know that just one person, one inspiring moment can be the difference in a member’s day or life.
Our Community
As a credit union dedicated to community development, Unitus is committed to promoting community development by breaking down barriers to accessibility for every community and household, irrespective of their socioeconomic status.
Part of this commitment includes purposefully providing education and inclusive access to affordable credit and services to low-income consumers and people living in local low-income investment areas.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
At Unitus, we’re a company where everyone is welcome and where you can be yourself. We’re fostering a culture of belonging, celebrating diversity, and inspiring continuous growth.
