Forrit Credit Union

In this world that’s all too often obsessed with the big, we’d like to make a case for small. That’s us. We’re Forrit Credit Union. And we’re proudly small.

Forrit Credit Union was created in 1936 as Portland Federal Employee's Credit Union. 45 founding members came together with the credit union philosophy of ‘people helping people' to form a financial cooperative that could help provide them with personalized banking solutions. The resulting credit union's mission — Forward Together. Each Member. Each Moment.— we view every moment as an opportunity

to grow, and we won’t stop making tomorrow a better place for our members. Today, Forrit Credit Union continues to serve our members with a full spectrum of financial services. We provide our members with anytime-anywhere online and mobile banking, personal one-on-one service, 24-hour phone access, plus access to thousands of ATMs and shared branches. When you become a member of Forrit, you're joining a member-driven, proudly-Portland, and 100% cooperative credit union in the Pacific Northwest. Being Forrit means we dive right in and get to work on enhancing the financial well-being of our members. We’re not only here to help our members arrive at their desired goals, but to do it with excitement!

No, we're not talking about the Celine Dion disk you found in the back of the closet. 🙅‍♀️💿

So... what is a CD? A CD stands for Certificate of Deposit. It is a savings product with a fixed interest rate and a set term. You are able to earn interest on the funds you leave untouched! 💰💫

Congratulations to our Q2 Heart Award winners! 🥳

🤝 Marissa is our Assistant Branch Lead at Rockwood and has been with Forrit for over 3 years. She received her Heart Award under the category of Collaboration.

🎉 Callie is our Branch Lead at Rockwood and has been with Forrit for nearly 14 years. She received her Heart Award under the category of Celebrating Individuals. Callie was nominated for this award after she stepped in to resolve an issue and committed to seeing it through. Callie consistently goes above and beyond to help our team and members succeed.

💜 Sandra is our Community Engagement Coordinator and has been with Forrit for over a year. She received her Heart Award under the category of Heart.

💡 Lou is our Member Relationship Specialist and has been with Forrit for over a year. Lou received a Heart Award under the category of Curious and Flexible.

Funny because I never even applied for that? 🤔

Seasonal work can be a great way to earn some extra cash, build experience, or add to your resume. However, fake job postings and phony recruiters often take advantage of busy hiring seasons to steal your personal information and money. 💸

In our recent blog post, we break down a few helpful tips to keep you and your finances safe from scammers while you’re on the job hunt. 🫶
