Why United Trades FCU

Here’s who we are—and what it means to you.

Since our start in 1955 by the steamfitters’ union, United Trades Federal Credit Union in the Pacific Northwest has been devoted to skilled trades unions workers. We’re like other credit unions in that we serve a defined “field of membership,” but where we do differ is in how we serve them.

We’re union just like you. And union comes first around here. Always. Here are a few other things about us that we thought you should know:

• We serve the Local 290 Union and many other companies. See if yours is one of them.
• We’re the financial institution Local 290 trusts with your Vacation Fund account—and we offer a range of tools to help you easily manage your account.
