As a certified Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI), we serve and support those who have been historically excluded from traditional financial services. Our mission-driven organization actively breaks down barriers to help individuals and small businesses achieve and sustain financial well-being. In addition, Verity’s CDFI status allows us to apply for financial awards to support programs like mortgage lending for first-time homebuyers, flexible underwriting for community facilities, and commercial loans for businesses in low-income areas.
When you bank with Verity, your deposits help cultivate a healthy, stable economy. Whether you are looking to manage debt, build your credit, commit to a savings plan, apply for a loan, invest in your future, or build a path to generational wealth – we are here to help you get there.

Our History
Verity has been helping Puget Sound residents since 1933, making it one of the first credit unions in Washington state. Our name has changed several times, but never because of a change in ownership or merger.
Annual Meeting
Each year, we invite members to join us in a discussion about the state of the credit union, providing transparency in how the credit union works.
Annual Report
The annual report provides an overview of the previous year, including financials, as well as some insight into the direction Verity will take in the future.
The Credit Union Difference
Credit unions are financial institutions offering deposit and loan services, just like banks. But they operate and support the greater community in very different ways.
Global Alliance for Banking on Values
Verity is a proud member of an international network of banks and cooperatives with a shared mission to use finance to deliver sustainable economic, social and environmental development.
