Our History

Our name has changed over the years, but helping people is still our core mission

Most every credit union shares a similar story about their early beginnings. Credit unions in the United States started in the early 1900s as a way for groups of individuals to come together and share their resources to help their neighbors in times of need. Verity first began in 1933, one year prior to President Roosevelt signing the Federal Credit Union Act into law, making it the second oldest credit union in Washington. In those early days, we served postal workers and eventually expanded to all federal employees. Over the past 80+ years, our name has changed several times, but never because of a change in ownership or a merger—simply to more accurately reflect who we serve.
