The Credit Union Association of Oregon Story
Oregon has always been a leader in the American Credit Union movement.
In 1915, Oregon became only the fifth state in the country to pass legislation allowing for the formation of a credit union. In subsequent years, individuals dedicated to the credit union philosophy of "people helping people" have worked tirelessly to build, sustain and grow the credit union movement in Oregon.
Credit Union Association of Oregon (CUAO) is the nonprofit, professional trade association representing Oregon’s state-, community-, and federally-chartered credit unions, providing a voice for Oregon’s 1.3 million credit union members on issues impacting credit unions at a local level. A 10- member Board of Directors, made up of credit union professionals from CUAO membership, guides CUAO and its various departments including Compliance, Education & Training, Governmental Affairs, Marketing & Public Relations, and its subsidiary entities including OCUL Services, Inc., CU Insurance Services, Inc. and the Oregon Credit Union Foundation.
