Our Story
Industrial Credit Union began in 1941, when employees of Bellingham’s Puget Sound Pulp and Timber Company came together to create a financial institution of their own.
Our first deposits were collected around a kitchen table in a little white house. It was a small beginning built on a powerful idea: working people pooling their resources to help one another.
As our community grew, so did we. Puget Pulp Credit Union became Georgia-Pacific Employees Credit Union and, in 1981, Industrial Credit Union. Our membership eventually expanded beyond a single employer and today serves people across Washington State.
Why the Name “Industrial”?
We’ve kept our name as a tribute to our working-class roots and the people who helped build the community we’ve served since 1941.
More than 80 years later, we’re still guided by the same philosophy that started it all: people helping people.
If you live, work, or go to school in Washington, there’s a place for you at Industrial Credit Union.
Family members of existing members may also be eligible.
