We are boldly growing to new heights while deepening our community roots.

Since 1957, we have served Clackamas County with the mission of helping our members meet their financial goals.

From these roots, Embold Credit Union was born. Our name change helps demonstrate our commitment to our entire service area, but the important things remain the same — our commitment to serving our members and our communities.

What makes Embold different from a bank? Our structure, values, and impact. We put people before profits. We’re committed to bringing innovative financial services to our membership, including ITIN lending services, Payday Alternative Loans, and financial planning specific to families of special needs children. And we’re dedicated to making an impact in our communities through volunteerism, investment, and fundraising.
