This strategic move enhances our ability to offer a comprehensive suite of financial products and services and strengthens our long-standing dedication to the Tri-Cities.
Once we integrate our operations, HAPO Community Credit Union will manage approximately $2.9 billion in assets and serve over 220,000 members across 25 branches in Washington and Oregon. However, our foremost priority is to ensure a seamless transition that keeps your interests at heart. Our dedication to being your Financial Partner for Life remains unchanged.
