UDW members, staff, retiree, and family members of the account holders are all welcome!
Since 2022, we’ve been in partnership with UDW to bring you your very own credit union. What does this mean for you, your families, and communities? You can enjoy everyday benefits like access to over 30,000 surcharge-free ATMs worldwide, getting paid up to 2 days early with direct deposit, exclusive offers, and low-interest rate loans. Plus, with more than 5,000 Shared Branches nationwide, you can handle your financial transactions in-person, just like you would at a PCU branch!
We are much like labor unions, not-for-profit organizations designed to serve our members. We don’t have shareholders but instead return profits to our membership through inclusive accounts, competitive rates, and convenient access to your funds.
And that’s precisely why PCU and UDW partnered to create products and services designed specifically for you. You work hard for your money, and you deserve a member-first financial institution that respects you and helps you manage your money wisely.
Come join and discover what thousands of UDW members have come to expect – better products, exceptional service, easy access. Less banking. More time for you.
If you or your family are a UDW member, staff, or retiree member, you may be eligible to join PCU. Eligibility is also available if you work for Providence Health & Services or any of its subsidiaries.
Once you’re a member, your family member (i.e. husband, father, aunts, uncles, cousins, in-laws, domestic partner, and grandparents) can join. And you can bank with us as long as you like – even if you leave the Providence, UDW, EyeHealth Northwest, or The Portland Clinic, LLP network.
Manage all of your bills and set up one-time or recurring payments to streamline your finances. Learn more by reading the FAQs on our online banking page.
Send money to friends and family quickly and securely, even if they bank somewhere else. For more details, tap the arrow.

Certificates are an easy, safe, and secure way to boost your savings with as little as $1,000!
A Certificate savings account earns a higher interest rate than many traditional savings accounts. But the money must remain untouched in the Certificate account for a set amount of time, or term, while it earns that guaranteed rate of interest.
Check out our short video explaining how Certificates work.

If you or your family are a UDW member, staff, or retiree member you may be eligible to join PCU.
We will do everything we can to have you join PCU. We want to ensure more care workers have access to affordable interest loans, higher savings yields, lower fees, and financial advice. Everyone’s case is unique. We want to hear your story and find all the ways to say “YES”. We’ll work to help you take control of your finances by providing only the best products and services.
For many care workers, working long hours can make it hard to stay on top of their finances, so we’ve made it easy to join the Credit Union. You don’t even have to leave the house!
Simply enter your Last Name and UDW Member ID into the form on the sidebar of the UDW page to begin your application.
We’re excited to partner with UDW, another not-for-profit organization rooted in understanding the needs and wants of care workers. The care industry and community share a lot in common with the spirit of credit unions – people helping people! PCU and UDW put members first. Both of us lead by example: to ensure our members are financially protected and successful.
We’re grateful to be a part of a community committed to helping those in need, especially when they’re the very people who provide essential services to our communities.
For over 60 years, our members and employees have volunteered their time and donated money to serve local organizations including Camp Erin, Kells Green Rain Event, Oregon Food Bank, Portland Festival of Trees and the Providence Helping Hand Fund. We understand the pressures that home health workers and family childcare providers face. Take advantage of our free financial tools to help you reach your goals.
We’re a not-for-profit financial cooperative originally created for Providence healthcare employees and their families based in Oregon. Since 1962, we’ve been creating and designing products and services specifically for healthcare professionals, their families, and partners. We’re more than just a place to put your money, deposit your checks or take out a loan (though we do that too). As a credit union, we work with our members to create lifelong financial success regardless of how much they deposit or borrow, including frequently underserved and underbanked groups.
PCU doesn’t warrant, guarantee or insure any products or services offered by participating merchants. The Credit Union is federally insured by the National Credit Union Administration. Credit Union membership is required before utilizing any product and/or service by establishing a savings account with $5.00. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. When you open an account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We will also ask to see your driver’s license and other identifying documents.
