Why We Love Our Credit Union – Celebrating the Power of People Helping People

At Kitsap Credit Union, we believe banking should be personal, purposeful, and rooted in community. That’s why we’re proud to celebrate I Love My Credit Union Day—a day dedicated to recognizing the positive impact credit unions have on their members and the communities they serve.

What Makes Kitsap Credit Union Different?

Unlike traditional banks, Kitsap Credit Union is a not-for-profit financial cooperative. That means we’re owned by our members—not shareholders—and every decision we make is guided by what’s best for you, not Wall Street.

Here’s how that difference shows up in your everyday experience:

• Better Rates: Lower loan rates and higher savings rates help your money go further.

• Fewer Fees: We keep fees low and transparent so more of your money stays with you.

• Personalized Service: We take the time to understand your goals and offer solutions tailored to your financial journey.

The Credit Union Movement: A Force for Good

The philosophy of “people helping people” is more than a slogan—it’s the foundation of the credit union movement, which began over 150 years ago to provide fair, accessible financial services to all.

At Kitsap Credit Union, we live this mission every day:

• Local Roots, Local Impact: We reinvest in our communities through local development, event sponsorships, and partnerships with nonprofits. From food drives to small business support, your membership helps us uplift our neighbors.

• Financial Empowerment: We offer free financial education, credit counseling, and tools to help you build a strong financial future.

• Democratic Ownership: As a member, you have a voice. You elect our volunteer board of directors and help shape the direction of our credit union.

This mission-driven model continues to make a real difference in the lives of millions—including right here in Kitsap County.
