Why Join a Credit Union?
Credit unions are member-owned cooperative financial institutions. Credit unions are not- for-profit organizations existing only to serve their members. This enables them to pay favorable rates on savings accounts and charge competitively priced low interest on loans.
Why Join TAPCO?
TAPCO Credit Union has a long and rich history in Pierce County. Founded in 1934 by nine City of Tacoma employees, TAPCO has grown to over 24,000 members. Anyone who lives or works in Pierce County is eligible for membership, and each member has a voice in how TAPCO operates. Member participation keeps TAPCO focused on the founding members' vision of "People Helping People."
How Does TAPCO Operate?
While maintaining a professional staff to run daily operations, TAPCO is governed by a Board of Directors that establishes and reviews policy. The Directors are TAPCO members who are elected by the membership and serve without pay. Every member has one vote, regardless of how much he or she has on deposit. At TAPCO, there is no select group of shareholders that profits more than anyone else. All members profit, individually and collectively.
TAPCO is a state-chartered credit union, organized under strict regulatory laws that are monitored and enforced by the National Credit Union Administration, an agency of the U.S. Government. The NCUA insures each member account for $100,000 which means that your money is safe with TAPCO.
