Membership Eligibility

Welcome to St. Helens Community Federal Credit Union. As a credit union, we don't answer to corporate stock holders somewhere faraway—we work for you! Each member of the credit union is also an owner, meaning they have a say in everything we do. Any earnings the credit union makes are passed on to our members in the form of higher dividend rates on our accounts and discounted interest rates on all our loan products.

Membership in the credit union is available to individuals that live, work, attend school, volunteer, or worship in Columbia County or Sauvie Island, Oregon. Membership in the credit union is also available to individuals with immediate family who are existing credit union members. Immediate family is considered to be: spouse, child, step-child, grand child, parent, step-parent, grand parent, or sibling.

Once you're a member, you're a member for life, even if you are no longer in our original field of membership. To become a member you must open a St. Helens Community Federal Credit Union Regular Savings Account. Join SHCU online today and enjoy all the benefits of credit union membership.
