Oregon Community Credit Union, which was founded as Lane Federal Credit Union and then was called U-Lane-O Credit Union from 1981 to 2003,[2] is a credit union based in Eugene, Oregon, United States,[3] owned by more than 150,000 members.[4]

History

It was established in 1956 by a group of employees working for the state government who "pooled their money together in a shoe box."[5] It is now the third largest[5] of 84 credit unions in Oregon,[6] serving 28 counties.[5]

In 2003, the credit union considered merging with Portland Teachers Credit Union (now OnPoint Community Credit Union), the largest credit union in the state.[7] The two did not end up merging.[8]

The credit union has seven branches in Eugene, Oregon, two in neighboring Springfield, one in Salem, one in Wilsonville, and one in Redmond.[18]

The credit union offers investing, mortgages, home equity, auto loans and other loans, banking accounts, online banking, and debit and credit card services.[19] It continued to hire workers in the aftermath of the Great Recession.[20]

Awards

In 2009, readers of Eugene's main newspaper, The Register-Guard, awarded the credit union as the best in Lane County for "lots of branches and great friendly service."[21] The credit union again won the award in 2010[22] and in 2011.[23]
