About Peninsula Credit Union

Peninsula Credit Union is a federally chartered credit union, and we're regulated by the National Credit Union Administration. We proudly serve Kitsap, Mason, Jefferson, Clallam and Grays Harbor counties.

Peninsula Credit Union is one of the nation's first community-chartered member-owned credit unions. On September 19, 1935, the Rainier Pulp and Paper Company, Shelton Washington, Federal Credit Union was created. Since that time other name changes have taken place as the charter has expanded. Today, Peninsula Credit Union serves more than 20,000 members. Our name has changed, but our mission has not - we still want to serve people who need it.

We listen, we serve, we educate, we care...always.

That's our mission statement, and we live by it here at Peninsula. We're conscious of our roots, mindful of our responsibilities, and energized by our mission to help our members navigate an increasingly complex financial world.
