You have a choice in where you bank
Verity is a local credit union that believes in socially responsible banking. We’re part of a movement working to create stronger, healthier, more sustainable communities because we believe a financial institution can do good. When you bank with Verity, your money helps make positive impacts in our vibrant communities. Rather than investing in Wall Street, about 90% of our deposits are used to invest in the local economy and members through loans, whether it’s a loan for an eco-friendly car, or adding a tiny home to your backyard.

IOLTA and IRETA
We understand legal and real estate professionals sometimes handle money for their clients and require specialized accounts to do so with transparency.
This is why we offer Interest on Lawyers Trust Accounts (IOLTA) and Interest on Real Estate Trust Accounts (IRETA). These checking accounts meet Washington state requirements and allow qualified attorneys and real estate brokers to pool client funds in interest-bearing accounts.
Both checking accounts feature:
- Easy access using Digital Banking
- Account statements provided for record of deposits, disbursements, and interest remitted to IOLTA
- No account fees if average monthly balance is $15,000 or more ($25 monthly fee applies if balance falls below the minimum balance threshold)
- Interest earned on deposit balances*
