Why IQ? — The Credit Union Difference

iQ Credit Union began in 1940 when a group of teachers pooled their money to create a stronger-together financial institution to serve more of Clark County, Washington. Since then, we have earned our members’ trust by providing personalized service with a comprehensive suite of financial products, tools and advice.

Today, we serve more Pacific Northwesterners than ever by helping them realize their financial goals. We pride ourselves on being both local and global, lending a helping hand, and doing so with a smile on our face. 

We offer something uniQue. As a member-owned financial institution, we return company profits to our members and communities, rather than to outside investors. We genuinely exist to serve, and it’s an honor and a delight to have our actual job be Seeking the UniQue: helping people succeed financially and in life, while strengthening the PNW communities where we work and live.

The secret of our longevity is simple – a blend of services that reach well beyond the basics of everyday finances. To build lifelong relationships with members, it’s important to get to know their needs and personalities. We live the credit union philosophy of “people helping people” and make member education, community investment, financial health, and employee development foundational components of our culture.

A great financial institution can change your life for the better.

Financial education, much like the PNW, is a wilderness. We all need a guide, someone to help us along the trail. Since 1940, IQ Credit Union has been that guide to help Pacific Northwesterners survive their finances.

With a variety of financial curriculum and activities for our WAnderers and explORers, children and adults can take the scenic route to financial success.

Whether you’re a teacher, a business, or a community organization looking to provide a better understanding of finances to your people, we’ve got you covered.
