Northwest Community Credit Union recently announced plans to pursue a merger with TwinStar Credit Union of Lacey, WA. We continue to hire for all posted positions while taking into account the needs of our combined future organization. Pending a “Yes” vote in late Fall 2022, NWCU employees will be combined with TwinStar employees at the time of our anticipated legal merger date, which is sometime in early 2023. We're eager to take advantage of the expanded opportunities for professional development and growth that the new organization can create, together.

Northwest Community Credit Union serves members from offices in 14 locations across Oregon.

We provide an additional $2.00 per hour bilingual differential for those employees who are able to support our members' financial needs effectively in a second language; subject to verification of strong grasp of financial terms utilizing language skillset.
